Mentors
Through our partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters our mentor program helps develop positive bonds between adults and students and reinforces the positive expectations that the family, school and community hope to instill in the child. The mentors and mentees work on homework, projects, or simply spend time together at the school.
TechGYRLS
The YWCA provides this technology-based program for fourth and fifth grade girls. Participants learn about graphic arts, web design, animation, and robotics and potential career opportunities associated with the technology field.
Tutoring
The school offers community-based after-school tutoring and homework help in math and reading.
Wildlands Conservancy Animal Education Program
The Wildlands Conservancy provides conservation and biodiversity lessons to first grade classes on a regular schedule. Students get the opportunity to meet native species first-hand and learn about the science behind animal behavior and local environments.
Young Playwrights
This program allows fourth and fifth grade students to explore their creative abilities by learning about the process of playwriting and acting. At the end of the year, one of the students may be lucky enough to have their play professionally produced in the Young Playwrights’ Festival!
