Thank You for a Successful Mini-Conference!

We want to extend a huge thank you to all of our amazing volunteer tutors and presenters at this year's mini-conference. Thank you for spending a Saturday with us as we focused on professional development and community-building. We especially want to thank Sentara Health, International Rescue Committee, Charlottesville, and Blue Ridge Literacy for presenting! While our focus is on literacy tutoring, we know that so much of what we do is also connecting our students to the community. Thank you for being a community partner!
We also want to thank Grit Coffee for donating the coffee and providing supplies. We know that caffeine can be a crucial element of fueling learning. 
Again, thank you to every single attendee and presenter. We appreciate you and cannot wait to do this next year. If you have thoughts, questions, or ideas about this year's or last year's conference, please reach out to Steven
