Dear Friends: All of us at Andson, Inc. would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the Very Best for 2014. We are so very proud of the many milestones we reached in 2013. And we thank all of our Supporters and Partners who helped us accomplish each of them. We are looking forward to continually working together to deliver our much-needed programs to students across the valley.
We kicked off the New Year with the most amazing party for our team of Board Members, Tutors, Admin Staff and our Community Partners on January 11, 2014. A heartfelt Thank You to Southern Highlands Golf Club and Southern Wine and Spirits for their incredibly generous contributions, support and partnership.
On New Year’s Eve 2013, we launched our new website powered by Larym Design. Please do take the time to visit and re-visit it, as it is being continually updated with additional details of our activities and services in Las Vegas, Henderson, and Boulder City.
Throughout the month of January, our Academic Team will be busy conducting our very own Aims Web Testing for our hundreds of registered students, while continually streamlining and structuring the Homework Help and Tutoring at our eleven locations in Clark County.
At the same time our Financial Literacy Team will be delivering January’s Financial Literacy Lessons to all 25 classrooms at Bracken Elementary School. We continually strive to utilize the most current materials, so lessons are revised on an ongoing basis. We thank our partners, United Way’s YPS, Silver State Schools Credit Union, and Bracken Elementary School for this successful collaboration.
Additionally, the Team is gearing up to start the second series of our Financial Literacy Workshops at Desert Oasis High School in the latter part of January. Approximately 1,200 juniors and seniors will benefit from these lessons.
Early February, the Academic Team will launch our Homework Help and Tutoring Program at Sunrise Acres Elementary School through the City of Las Vegas. We are eagerly looking forward to launching a new pilot of our supplemental after school assistance to the students at that location.
Taking on yet another challenge, we are currently developing a GED preparatory curriculum, which will be deployed early this spring. Through a partnership with St. Jude's Ranch for Children, this program will serve young adults currently in transitional housing and/or aging out of the foster care system.
Again, thank you all for continued support, and for making 2013 an incredible year of success. Together we will make 2014 an even better year!
Fondly,
Sonia
