It has been our pleasure to work with you and the Be the Peace - Be the Hope team this past year as a BridgeUp grant recipient. Your program at Las Americas Newcomer School provided needed social and emotional learning and arts programming for newcomer students. In addition to strong student programs and outcomes, we were most impressed with your organizational skills, short-cycle improvement processes, and evaluation measures. You did a lot to develop your program with a small grant. Most importantly, you served as an active member of our BridgeUp Impact Network, and we benefitted from your creative ideas and mindful approach. You are so passionate about the work, and we know you will be successful. We wish you the best and look forward to collaborating in the future.
