PARTNERSHIP IN ACTION
Rhymes with Reason joined the LA Chargers Impact Fund team for an exciting launch event at the Watts-Willowbrook Clubhouse with youth from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Los Angeles. Students were surprised when Chargers players Derwin James and Michael Davis showed up to lead their lessons!
We are so impressed with these students' progress; in just the few short weeks since this program launched, the over 100 participants have achieved well above average assessment scores program-wide. The top three individual students having learned the most new terms thus far have expanded their vocabulary by 105, 90, and 70 words!
