From passing out free meals and signing in 240+ students to reviewing the material with students and helping clean up, our team has been able to help ensure that Saturday school flows as smoothly as possible every week! Our service doesn't end when the bell rings at 2:20pm an Fridays, it ends once we can successfully say we helped in every way possible each week. Saturday school has given us an opportunity to work closely with teachers we are not partnered with, as well as students in other grades and other subjects! #Aiming4a10 1.4 I mama FOR As the year progresses, we're feeling the warmth of meeting our goal!
