Ryan and Erin Holt have been matched with their Little Brother Markell since April, 2010. They were immediately great friends with their Little Brother and the relationship remained consistent from the very beginning. Earlier this year, Big Brother Ryan recognized a need and began to tutor Markell one night a week in math. Due to this, Markell has really improved in his math scores and he has loved the extra time he got to spend with Ryan.
Even though Markell had this special time with Ryan he also got a fun day with Ryan and Erin on the weekends. Even though our program only calls for an outing to occur once a week, Ryan and Erin went above the expectations while maintaining a balance with their Little Brother. Some of their favorite outings are swimming, going to the dog park, and playing the Wii. Better look out for some creative Wii score-keeping now that they have a math wiz in the mix!
Great match! Looks like Markell is a fun kid and they have a great time together.
