Success Story
Big Lift Staff are Inspired Educators!
The Big Lift Inspiring Summers Teacher Brianna attends Skyline Community College, is studying elementary education, and the SVCF Marie A. Calderilla Foundation scholarship recipient! As Brianna so beautifully remarked, “Receiving this scholarship reassured me that teaching is what I’m meant to do, and that all the work I’ve done and opportunities I’ve had will all help me become an outstanding, educated leader.”
