This Week's "UB Special" Award!
Tori is a super star in our program. She is often the first to get her reflection papers turned in, to show up at events or respond to an email. Her dedication is outstanding, even walking several blocks every day (in heat, rain or sunshine) to and from our summer program. She was one of five students who had PERFECT attendance this summer. She has, and continues to, overcome many obstacles in her life, but remains focused on her own future. This makes us very proud of her. Her care and respect for her program staff never goes unnoticed and we very much appreciate her end of the summer gestures; she rallied the troops and showed great leadership. She has put in the work to improve her grades during the school year and continued to excel in the summer program. For these reasons and more, Tori is long overdue to receive this week's "UB Special" Award. Please join us in congratulating her!
