On August 19th, LVI Jumpstart staff hosted its long-awaited end of year tutor appreciation event at the Morton Arboretum! On a lovely evening, surrounded by nature, with thoughtful conversations on engaging students and reflecting on this year, we enjoyed music from a local band, the Throwbacks featuring 50’s & 60’s tunes. Our longtime volunteer, Connie joined other attendees showing off some great moves! We appreciate each of you!
