When Kim retired, she began looking for what was next.
"I had retired and soon realized I needed something to fill my days, and even more, fill my heart. I had been working as a substitute para in the school and loved my time with the elementary kids. One of the teachers told me about the MathCorps program and asked if I would consider it. The idea of an actual schedule and the opportunity to work with upper elementary students on a daily basis really appealed to me. So...here I am! I look forward to going to school every day. The kids I work with are WONDERFUL! It is a dream job for me."

Favorite moment of being a tutor?
"When my students come into class with a smile and an eagerness to learn. I look forward to continuing with the program next year."

What do you wish everyone knew about Math Corps?
"It really helps students learn without pressure and fear of failing. I see increased confidence and a sense of accomplishment in my students."

Thank you for all you do to support the students of Washburn! 💙
