congrats big sister!Big Sister has been nationally recognized for the superior quality of our programs with the Big Brothers Big Sisters Nationwide Leadership Council’s 2014 Quality Award! This honor validates the significant work they are doing together to grow and deepen impact while maintaining exceptional standards of quality and our laser focus on meeting the specific needs of girls. It is worth noting that Big Sister is the only BBBS affiliate in Massachusetts to receive this award, and one of just two recipients in New England.

partner highlight: Boston universityThis year marks the fourth year that Trotter students have been working with BU tutors in Science and Writing. As part of their Science & Language Arts Methods of Instruction course, the BU students have been coming to the Trotter on Wednesdays from 8:30am-3:00pm. They start their day with Science instruction from Professor Donald Derosa. In the morning, they observe and help in Mrs. Richardson’s Science classroom. They are helping to teach Science units to Ms. Douglas’s third grade class. After a brief break for lunch, they resume instruction with Language Arts Professor Jennifer Bryson. In the afternoon, they tutor Ms. Douglas’s third grade students in writing. Recently, the tutors helped the third graders edit and revise their personal narratives to bring to publication. Their last day at the Trotter was Wednesday November 12th. The new semester of tutoring will begin again in late January.
