Our tutoring program supplements classroom education. Curently tutors are working virtually, but we look forward to the day we can welcome them back to the building. Tutors provide students in grades K-5 opportunities to build literacy and math skills.  Tutors offer assistance, support, and positive feedback on student progress. Children gain self-confidence, make relationships with caring adults, and practice key skills.

Invest in a child’s tomorrow.
