S.M.A.R.T Tutor Program

A child in poverty who cannot read on grade level by 3rd grade is 13 times less likely to graduate than a proficient, wealthier peer.  The Catch a Dream Foundation's S.M.A.R.T Tutor Program for the Benton Harbor Area Schools is recruiting tutors for their fall session to help the students of Benton Harbor become proficient. The tutors spend 1 hour once a week in an 8 week session with their student.  The students who are being tutored are in grades 1st through 8th grade.  Tutors have their choice of grade level and time between teh hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.  Tutoring is done in reading and math.  for more information and to register go to http://bhas.org/domain/77.  If you have questions contact Meredith Sgambelluri at (269) 605-2801 or Meredit.Sgambelluri@bhas.org.  The first session will begin Monday, September 29.
