This holiday season, we give thanks for our dedicated, talented, and caring program staff! These amazing people make our programs great and our community strong. Vivian
Ton is a Lead Teacher in SNBC’s Afterschool Learning Program at Robert Louis
Stevenson Elementary (RLS). Vivian works with 4th graders at RLS in the
afterschool hours, every day of the school year. We got a chance to catch up with Vivian this week as part of RLS Program Spotlight.

SNBC: Please tell us a little about yourself.
VT: This is my third year working with RLS and the SNBC
community. Prior to this, I have volunteered at difference programs around the
city. I have been a student at SFSU for the last three years as well and am
continuing my studies to become a teacher.
SNBC: What brought you to this program?
VT: I am actually an alumna to RLS and
volunteered in the afterschool program while in high school. I was offered a
position when I graduated high school and have been working here ever
since.
SNBC: What do you enjoy most about your work within this
program?
VT: Teaching the kids new things and seeing them understand them
and having fun is truly the most meaningful part of this job. I really enjoy
spending time with these kids. They always make me smile J
SNBC: Why do you think this program is important?
VT: Without this afterschool program, many of these students
would not have grown academically and mentally like they have since being here.
Afterschool programs really allow kids to deepen their learning skills and allow
them to have a place to grow and develop even more.
