\"20160115_203456_resized\"<\/a>On Friday evening Cindy Garruba and Kristi Halpern, two Community Counselors for Au Pair in America, attended the Suffolk County Community College ESL Graduation.\u00a0 SCCC has a wonderful ESL program that has a multi-level program.\u00a0 If a student passes all the levels, they are awarded with a certificate and an inspiring ceremony.\u00a0 Twice a year SCCC ESL program holds this ceremony, in January and in May.\u00a0 Each time, several au pairs graduate from the program.<\/p>\n

\"20160115_200641_resized\"<\/a> \"20160115_201602_HDR_resized\"<\/a>Every au pair is required to earn 6 credits or 72 – 80 hours at the college level.\u00a0 Host families contribute toward their education financially and support their attendance through scheduled time off and transportation to school.\u00a0 One semester of ESL at SCCC satisfies this requirement and the au pairs learn so much.\u00a0 The school has dedicated teachers, many options for classes and three campuses in Suffolk County.<\/p>\n

Graduating this semester were Andresa Costa, Dayanna Davilla, and Caroline Martineli dos Santos.\u00a0 Several of their au pair friends joined Cindy and Kristi in the audience to cheer on their fellow au pairs!\u00a0 Many of the au pairs are signed up to start classes this month at SCCC.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Basket Ball Game at SCCC<\/strong>\"20160117_134456_resized\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On Sunday, Cindy’s cluster attended a Boy’s Basketball game at SCCC on the Selden Campus.\u00a0 The team played LaGuardia college and everyone enjoyed cheering on Suffolk’s team.\u00a0 Kevin Foley, the Athletic Director of Suffolk County Community College noticed our lively group and stopped by to sit with us in the stands.\u00a0 At half time, he invited us into the Alumni Room and gave each au pair a SCCC Athletic T-shirt.\u00a0 The game was\u00a0close but SCCC won and everyone was very excited.\u00a0 As we excited the gym, the first few snowflakes of the season were falling.\u00a0 Some of the au pairs had never experienced snow and that was a thrill, too.<\/p>\n
