. >> hi, may name is linda lou. we're new immigrant family from china. and my son -- [inaudible] -- he is now second grader. we attended springboard last year when he was first grader and my purpose was for him to improve his english. he was a little bit behind a grade level. but after this program, he is read -- his reading jumped two levels. and this year, he's actually one of the two achievement students in his class. i think this program does bring a lot of confidential. for me, i'm a single parent. i got to spend quality time during the springboard reading with him and it's really valuable for the family. and i think -- we can't wait to postpone the program, because i have a younger one coming in the school. the whole community, we have where reading is kind of really not -- it's a shaky label i would say. so this program is valuable. and i would strongly recommend the school district do some work for helping the children. thanks.
