Aishe’s Junior Coach Goals Extend Beyond the Playground

Aishe is a 6th-grade student from Philadelphia Montessori Charter School who took some time to explain why she became a Junior Coach:

“I love working with younger children and teaching different games. Coach K teaches us a lot of new things and how to solve problems using ro sham bo! I also like that we get a chance to help out the younger kids at school. I’m looking forward to seeing them playing games and me becoming a better person in life.”
