Bremer County: School Based Big of the Year

Abby began her match with her Little Sister, Zoe, in March 25, 2009 at Irving Elementary in Waverly.  Abby and Zoe have a very strong connection, so strong that in January 2010 they transferred their match to the School Based Plus program.  Abby still meets with Zoe once a week at school and also once a month outside of school.   At school, Abby and Zoe work on schoolwork and enjoy talking and catching up with one another.  When seeing each other outside of school, Abby has taken Zoe to her parent’s home, made cookies, gone to movies, attended Big Brothers Big Sisters' events and just hung out.  Abby will be graduating from Wartburg College this May and is planning on keeping in touch with Zoe the old fashion way by writing letters.  Abby has seen Zoe’s self confidence grow these last three years.  When asked what is Zoe’s favorite part about being matched with Abby,  Zoe says that "Abby is funny, a good listener, outgoing and awesome!"    Abby is excited about Zoe being in High School next year and still being able to be a part of her life.  

Congratulations Abby!
