OUR STAFF
Our dedicated and enthusiastic staff love working with students individually to help them meet their individual goals.
Penny Aronson
Executive Director
Penny is passionate about literacy. A voracious reader, Penny was bewildered when her children struggled to read. It became her full-time job to teach them. When they returned to school successfully, Penny joined the CLC in 2017 as the HSE Coordinator. Now as the Director, Penny is thrilled to be able to serve those middle schoolers who need help, their families, and our ESOL community. Her vision truly is to foster lifelong literacy.
Dawn Eichhorn
Office Manager
Dawn wears a lot of hats at the CLC. She is our IT support, database guidance, scheduling, and general cape-wearing superhero when other staff members yell, “help!” Dawn’s administrative background has prepared her to help with all things office-y and gifted her with immeasurable patience.
No need to use a bat signal -- you can email Dawn for any help you need!
