Educare Lincoln Literacy Program Graduate Khani Sharo Awarded for Achievement

Khani Sharo is a parent who is a member of the Educare Lincoln (www.educareschools.org/schools/lincoln-ne) family and a testimonial to the fact that not only do children learn and grow at Educare but families do too. Khani participated in Family Literacy classes at Educare Lincoln in partnership with Belmont Elementary School during the 2017/18 school year starting in January. Her story is one of determination.  Khani, a Yazidi refugee from Iraq, was denied a formal education in her early years. The Family Literacy classes were Khani’s first opportunity for a form of formal education. Khani truly loved every minute she spent in class and had perfect attendance with the exception of one day her child was sick. Khani also embraced the full experience of the Family Literacy classes by attending every field trip offered along with every extracurricular activity. Khani participated in the classes with her husband, Naif.  Together, they also embraced the opportunity to learn on computers when the chance was offered to them. Khani finished the class by accomplishing two years of progress in just four short months. To recognize Khani’s great accomplishments, she was recently awarded the 2018 Mayor’s Award for Language and Literacy Achievement. Congratulations Khani!
