The Why Behind Fundraising
- 6 of 8 participated: Oliver, Prabhu, Deepa, Catie, Aaron
- Feedback from Schools
- Mr. Kawika Chun, Founding School Director, EQ5: The scholars were really excited to have guest readers, they light up meeting people from different professions and backgrounds. Even after the visitors left, scholars continued to talk about the experience.
- Caroline Battle, 4th grade teacher, EQ3: Mr. Reddy started with a read aloud, which was a great way to let the kids get comfortable with a visitor in the room! He did an excellent job making sure he answered questions in a way that was appropriate for their age group (making finance/investing sound cool to 9 year olds can be a challenge, but he did great!) Students asked lots of great questions about his life, schooling, and career. They really enjoyed the opportunity!
