"What Langsford is About": According to Lindsey

Miss Lindsey

Recently we've had the pleasure of working with this delightful 3rd grader 
who wrote the following about Langsford:

What Langsford is About
by Lindsey
Langsford is a place where kids go to get better at school work that is tricky for them.  I really like Langsford because I can learn in fun ways.  I can read interesting books while playing the Jewel Game. 

I also do spelling.  If I get a word wrong, I have a list that the word goes on.  If I get the word correct 5 days in a row the word gets checked off.  I also get to write sentences on the white board with a dry erase marker.  My favorite color is purple.

If I read 20 minutes a day I get to put a check on the reading board.  If I get checks all the way across the board, I get to get a prize out of Rhonda's special basket.  

I have a different teacher every hour I am here.  At the end of each hour, I get stickers to put on my sticker sheet.  Langsford is a good place to go to!

Thanks Lindsey!  We think you're pretty special too!!

Hoping for her life to be changed

This week we had a new student start.  On her first day her mother told me a story I want to share with you.  She said that the night before her family had had Chinese food for dinner.  When her daughter, our new student, opened her fortune cookie, it read.......

You are about to be tested,
and the results will be life-changing

The daughter turned to her mother, smiling, and said, "I think Langsford is going to be my big test."

We've had many past clients tell us their lives were changed by the work they did with us.  We strive for that with every client we see.
