The following opportunities are available for community members, parents, etc.:

Lunches are in 30 minute segments. Which lunch schedule works best fo

you? Lunch A 11:00-11:30 Lunch B 11:30-12:00 Lunch C 12:00-12:30

After-school Tutoring- Many students just need that one-on-one attentiofor their ah-ha moment. Students could benefit from your help with

completing homework and/or class assignments, gaining confidence in

reading or math, and basic tutoring. Students can work with you one-on-

or in small groups.

Career Speakers- Come tell us your professional and personal journey.Many times success seems like a distant dream instead of an attainable

reality. Sharing your journey helps put things into perspective for ourstudents.
