Time for Tutoring (Part
2)!
It's that time again! School is about to
start and the West-Ark Tutoring program needs you.
Beginning Oct. 3 and ending April 24th, we tutor on
Tuesday afternoons from 3:15 until 4:50 PM. We are
off the Tuesdays before Thanksgiving and Christmas, and
March 20th during Spring Break.
If you love
children, this program is for you! Some days it is
frustrating but can become quite exciting when your
child masters something that is second-nature to you.
If you have feelings of trepidation about what
you would do if your child came without homework, Leslie
Holland provides learning material and games in the
Tutoring Closet that are suitable for your child.
Many of the children will work hard at school to
complete their homework just so they can have you all to
themselves to talk to or play with.
Let us not
forget what our snack providers do; they fill those
little tummies so the children can think. In the
past we have had children that would not have been fed
on Tuesday evening without our snack providers.
Please look for the little red schoolhouse
in the foyer and sign up. If you have questions,
please call Sheila Vaught at (646-2945) or talk to Karen
Farris, Leslie Holland, Jack Lewis or any of our past
tutors. --Sheila Vaught
