Math Corps

Over the course of her career, Karysta has always leaned into creative ventures. A former hairdresser and part-time paint instructor, she's now using her skills to help Math Corps students grow!

Karysta hopes to watch her students succeed far into the future. "I want to make a positive impact on future generations," she says. She may even extend her work with students to a new setting by pursuing a degree in child psychology.

Thank you for making a difference in your community, Karysta. We're so glad that tutoring with Math Corps has brought you so much joy!

ROCORI School District is home to three elementary schools that have adopted our high-impact tutoring model to help more students succeed! Across Cold Spring, John Clark, and Richmond Elementary Schools, tutors helped more than 175 students build their proficiency in reading and math this school year.

Among the leaders responsible for such great success is Mary Holmberg, principal of John Clark and Richmond Elementary Schools. Principal Holmberg was recently awarded Minnesota’s 2026 National Distinguished Principal, a testament to her strength as a leader and educator. We're proud to partner with her in ensuring local students have the skills needed to succeed.

As we look ahead to next school year, we're excited to continue our partnership with ROCORI School District! If you’re interested in exploring tutoring opportunities with Reading Corps or Math Corps, visit Join.ReadingandMath.org.

We're proud to be a long-standing partner of the school district in this important work!

A special thank you to the team at Sauk Rapids-Rice Public Schools for all that they do to support our incredible tutors—you make our mission possible!
