To promote the importance of higher education, Learn To Be partnered with the Anaheim Achieves after-school program on June 6 at the 8th annual Anaheim Achieves Showcase at Pearson Park. Learn To Be staff had the opportunity to reach out to more than 1,000 children, parents and community representatives in a fun-filled afternoon with games, prizes and free resources for families.

As parents gathered more information about free online tutoring, children enjoyed playing ring toss with Learn To Be's new mascot, "Tobe."
