Last week at Echo Park tutoring, after-school student Oscar told us he'd been awarded the March Student of the Month at Micheltorena Street Elementary School in Silver Lake, where he's currently in 6th grade. Oscar has been attending after-school tutoring at 826LA East since the second week we opened (in January 2008)! Here's a little something he wrote a couple months back:

My name is Oscar and I am 11 years old. I go to Micheltorena. I like soccer and baseball. I live in an apartment that looks like a house. I like hanging around with my friends. That's all.

Congratulations, Oscar! That's all. (<--- one of Oscar's trademark last lines)
