Wanted: Volunteer Tutors:
We are seeking volunteer Tutors to work with students in the classroom. Do you have a couple extra hours during the day that you could volunteer for tutoring? Perhaps grandma or grandpa might like to volunteer. Or what about your retired neighbor that is looking for a volunteer opportunity. The volunteer tutors will help to provide individualized learning for children in the classroom. The time commitment is small, but the impact on a child’s education can be great. For more information or to refer someone, please contact Cindy Thierry at 721-4992 or cindythierry@att.net.
