LeeAnne Ciluffo - Tutor, Milwood Magnet School: Center for Math, Science and Technology
LeeAnne Ciluffo is an incredibly reliable volunteer. A retired Loy Norrix High School English teacher, "Ms. Lani" - as she is referred to by the students - has the ability to immediately establish good rapport with students, particularly with those who may be considered "hard to reach." She motivates the Milwood Magnet Middle School students to tackle work they would have once ignored by providing solid homework help in an after-school setting.
KCIS was also able to turn to Ms. Lani to help with dental day. She was instrumental in helping connect the students with the dental services that come into the school through Kalamazoo County Health & Community Services.
Ms. Lani understands kids and commits herself fully to being a volunteer through KCIS. LeeAnne Ciluffo is, as one of the KCIS Site Coordinators puts it, "the complete package: a grandmother, teacher and volunteer all in one."
LeeAnne Ciluffo, we thank you for helping students stay in school and succeed in life.
