Morris Educational Foundation Continues Partnership with Frelinghuysen Middle School for Community One-On-One Tutoring Program
The Morris Educational Foundation (MEF) has announced it will continue its community volunteer program at Frelinghuysen Middle School (FMS) for the 2014-2015 school year. Leadership at both the middle school and the foundation are excited about increasing the impact of the program targeted to sixth through eighth grade students. The Morris Educational Foundation is pleased to invite members of our community who are interested in tutoring to participate. In addition to those who are able to tutor language arts, the MEF is making a special request for those who can tutor math.
Last year, over thirty tutors worked with approximately 50 children in both language arts and mathematics instruction. This is the fourth consecutive year of the program.
FMS Principal David Thompson shared, “The support that tutors provide is invaluable in helping our students improve their academic skills, which translates into overall increased academic success. The tutors represent positive and successful role models who encourage our students to establish high expectations and meaningful goals for themselves. “ He added, “It is heartwarming to see the excitement in our students when they know that a neighbor in the community really cares about them.”
The MEF is now enrolling additional tutors in preparation for fall training sessions and is accepting applications. Those interested in applying to tutor language arts and/or math, should email the foundation at debbie@morrisedfoundation.org.
