Reading Mentors - Fall 2008


We have another opportunity to be engaged in helping kids learn how to read better, and to be "encouragers" of their self confidence in school and in life. When Principal Vasilika Tsichlis was here from Hodgens Elementary School, she invited us to become part of the H.E.A.R.T.s Program (Hodgen's Excellent Academic Reading Tutors).

Their goal is to find a tutor to mentor every second and third grader. Mentoring happens on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10:15am-10:45am, or 11:50am-12:20pm. Training will be provided and each student will have materials to work on with their tutor.

There are currently four folks from LPUMC that are planning to become mentors. If you would like to join us, contact Pastor Sharon at 566-0332. I fully expect it to be an amazing blessing for us as God's Spirit flows through us to nurture our neighbors' children.
