testimonials
“Title-1 schools are schools in which children from low-income families make up at least 40% of the enrollment. Most often the Title-1 funds are used for school-wide interventions in ELA and Math in an attempt to close the gap and not so much on innovative enrichment programs like STEAM.”
Prasanna Padmanabhan, Fremont Union School District, School Teacher
“Marshmallow Minds outreach program makes our students feel honored and worthy.”
Alie Victorine, Franklin McKinley School District, Title-1 School Teacher
“The program serves as a great example for a direction as a teacher you want to move towards to but at times you feel overwhelmed to do it. To know that there is a support structure out there to help you is very encouraging.”
