Literacy Empowerment Action Plan of WNY
February 1, 2012
Dear Parents,
LEAP of WNY is proud to offer our academic tutoring program called LEAP~ASAP to students at
Holmes Elementary School at no cost due to generous grants from the United Way, Buffalo Bills Youth
Foundation, and First Niagara Bank. Applications for our spring program are due by March 13, 2012
and can be mailed to our Elmwood office (see address below) or dropped off at the Sheridan Parkside
Community Center. This is a wonderful opportunity and we encourage you to submit your application early
because enrollment is limited.
Sincerely,
Dr. Gillian Richardson, Executive Director
