## Story

Arvada resident Christine Rector is celebrating her survival of breast cancer by becoming the new owner of Broomfield's Sylvan Learning. Christine's son, Christopher, who is a tutor at the location, had informed his mother that it was going to close, so she jumped at the opportunity to save the location to continue providing for the community with Sylvan’s outstanding programs.

In speaking with Women of Denver, Rector said, “With a good marketing plan and hard work, my goal is to expand the business in the future. Helping children attain academic success and ultimately be successful in life is, in my mind, one of the most worthwhile goals I can think of. I believe with all my heart that young children are the future of our country and education is the key."
