Clubs and Tutoring...

Tutoring continues in

the Library:

Shades Valley High

School Beta Club

Members come Tues-

days and Thursdays to

the library for tutoring

in the following sub-

jects:

Math, Science, Eng-

lish, Social Studies,

Test Studying, Orga-

nizing Notebooks.

This service is just as

important to our stu-

dents as it is to the tu-

tors. They get service

hours for tutoring.

Another great bonus is

that former IMS stu-

dents serve as tutors

and they know how to

help students succeed.

tion.
