What piece of learning as a child did you get stuck on?

Learning to read?

What would you have done if the adults around you couldn't help you out? There is no good answer to that is there?

That's why Burroughs has a Tutoring Program for our kids. So many of them want to learn, to understand and to succeed, but they need one-on-one help.

Next Tuesday (May 27th) may be the last opportunity to advocate for keeping Black Rock School open. There is a Board of Ed meeting at Aquaculture School (located at Captains Cove). The meeting is at 7 pm. People need to be there by 6:45pm to sign in to speak.

We need as many people to speak as possible, including people with children at St. Ann's as well as those with grown children or no children. They need to hear how important the school is to our community.

The Quick Start Language Center allows community members to learn a language at their own pace, on their schedule using laptop computers and Pimsleur software… for FREE!  14 languages are available for English speakers including Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Italian, German and more. English is available for Spanish and Portuguese speakers.   

So far this year we are working with 13 of our 5^th-9^th graders, providing them with one-on-one tutoring in math or reading. We have room to serve 5-6 more kids, but we need 2 tutors per child! Can you help one of our 5^th graders with their multiplication tables? Can you practice reading or writing with one of our 7^th graders? BE A TUTOR!

Join us at the Hurwitz home (110 Bartram Avenue) to hear Chris Caruso's vision for Education in Bridgeport.

Coffee and dessert will be served.
