A Complete Turnaround

By Ethan, AmeriCorps Promise Fellow serving at Edina Public Schools

"Riley was tardy to almost every single class first semester. She wasn't absent much, but her tardies piled up and up and up. In this second semester, she's only been tardy three times, and not absent a single time. It's a complete 180 turnaround that I am incredibly happy with, but also impressed by. A 7th grader has a lot going on in their life, so to see Riley make such an effort to get to class on time is wonderful to see."
