The Grace Presbyterian Tutoring Program completed its 20th year on April 12, 2018. For 20 years this ministry has partnered adults with students from Hyde Elementary to work on reading skills. A staff member from Hyde walks the children over on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Here they are greeted with a snack and friendly faces. Then each child spends 45 minutes to an hour reading with an adult. The results are incredible. Year after year students make amazing strides in their reading.
We are grateful to Lib Hooper for serving as the director this year and to Carolyn Benefiel (first semester) and Jan Horner (second semester) for serving as the assistant directors. Don Allison has served as a tutor for all 20 years of the program, and he retired this spring.
