Summer Literacy 10 began on July 6, 2022 and runs from 1:00 – 4:00 on consecutive Wednesday’s and Thursday’s until August 18, 2022. Summer Literacy is a safe, comfortable, and most importantly fun place for Core Members to enhance their literacy skills with friends. This summer they are reading an autobiography, Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space, by Amanda Leduc. They are also exploring areas of financial, health, technology, and creative writing literacy.
Hi my name is Kamila Sanborn. I am originally from Redvers, SK but moved to Regina in 2018 to pursue my Bachelor of Social Work degree. I completed my degree in April of this year and had the pleasure of doing my major practicum with Astonished! I learned a lot in my placement and met a lot of great people who I am happy to spend more time with now that I am working for Astonished for the summer in summer literacy. In my free time I love to paint, walk my dog, go hiking and spend time with my friends and family. I am looking forward to this summer being with Astonished!
Hello! My name is Haley McGrath and I am going into my fifth year of my Bachelor of Kinesiology, majoring in Human Kinetics and Gerontology. I am originally from Slave Lake, Alberta and am so excited to be spending my first summer in Regina as part of the Astonished! Team. Within my degree, I have learned that helping individuals achieve their goals and dreams is one of my true passions and am so grateful that Astonished! has given me the opportunity to further explore that passion while learning other valuable skills. In my free time, I love going for walks around Wascana Lake, and spending time with my friends and my dog, Fergie.
