Testimonials – Immigrant

“We’ve been offering the School’s Cool program in our community for 6 years now. Most of the families we serve are new immigrants learning the English language. Each year, I am amazed at the dramatic changes we see in the children during this 72 hour program, especially in language. Our kindergarten teachers are seeing the difference too! They’ve noticed that ESL students who have attended School’s Cool arrive at school with a stronger foundation of skills and maintain that strength throughout the year, setting them up for life-long school success.”

Gerry Catherwood, Program Manager

“School’s Cool will help immigrant children in our community to be better prepared to enter the school system. It will help address the barriers they are facing. I’m looking forward to running the program and making a difference in children’s lives!”
