SUMMER 2017 TUTORIAL PROGRAM FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
EDUCATION
EMMANUEL CARES sponsored a FREE Summer Evening Tutorial Program for students in K – 5th grade. The program was offered every Wednesday evening from 7 pm to 8:30 pm. The goal of the tutorial program was to partner with Teachers, Administrators, and Tutor Volunteers to help students build their Reading and Math Skills in a safe and nurturing environment in preparation for the new school year. We especially wanted to equip our students with the tools and strategies necessary to excel on their Reading and Math STAAR Exams. Thanks to our Community Partners, Wal-Mart and Chick-Fil-A, a wholesome snack was also be provided for each student who participated. The Montgomery Country Memorial Library also gifted books to support Reading instruction.
We ended our Summer program to allow parents and students to prepare for the new school year and then had to pause our efforts due to Hurricane Harvey which devastated the gulf coast region of Texas, including Houston and surrounding areas.
