10 Books A Home Parents Unite to Host 10BH Graduation
Fourth cohort of Learners prepares to enter kindergarten
East Palo Alto, CA -- 10 Books A Home (10BH) is excited to announce that the parents of
children who graduate from 10BH this year have organized their own graduation ceremony. Thirty-nine Learners, their parents and siblings, and the volunteer Role Models who provided
the direct service to the families will be celebrating the end of a 2 year journey in 10BH’s Child-
Parent Home Tutoring Program. They will throw their caps and celebrate everyone’s readiness
to start kindergarten in the 2016-17 school year. Parents have been working hard organizing 10BH’s fourth Learner Graduation, which will
include caps and gowns for the graduates, an official graduation ceremony, free tacos for
everyone who attends, and lots of 5 years olds buzzing with excitement and pride. (See photos
from last year’s graduation) "While making phone calls to the graduating families my daughter, Milagros, would tell her little
sister, Camilla, not to interrupt me because it was office time and mom needs to organize the
10 Books A Home graduation!" said Angelica Mendez, a 10BH parent and chair of the
graduation committee. Paul Thiebuat III, 10BH Founder and CEO, added “This graduation is a landmark in 10BH’s
history. I’ve organized nearly 50 events since founding 10BH in 2009 and never have I seen
100% of a planning committee turn out at its meetings. The parents of our Learners are
showing a level of commitment to their children’s education that I’ve dreamed of since the
beginning. Our community is growing more committed by the year to ensuring their children
are ready to succeed in kindergarten.” Join Learners, parents, volunteer Role Models and friends on August 6 at 10:30am-2pm at Pinky, the 10BH headquarters to celebrate this year’s 39 graduates.
