Waldo tutors lend a hand at Washington

By Ana Karina Victoria and Rosio Lopez

Almost all of the people scheduled to be a Washington tutor for next year have been selected. Some 8th graders already had that class before and say that it is really fun. Working with kindergarteners is fun too. We interviewed Mr. Sackley about being a Washington tutor and what you need to become one.
