The My Favorite Charity Events (MFCE) free mathematics tutoring program is in its last month and the SOL Crusher kids of room107 wanted to show off a bit.

It has been an exciting six months of tutoring and the kids have grown exponentially academically but also from a confidence and maturity perspective.

We are anxiously awaiting the 2024 Mathematics Standards of Learning tests to measure our success – improvement in test scores from 2023.

The kids are ready and as you will see in the video – full of energy!
