Come as you are and join TGS moms as they pray for our TGS community. If you are a mom or grandma of a Geneva student, you are invited. No need to commit to every week; just come when you can. It really is the best way to start the week, covering our families in prayer … and establishing relationships with fellow prayer warriors. For more information, contact Christie Hudon at [email protected].
Our upper school's National Honor Society members graciously volunteer to help our 3rd–6th grade students with homework. Each Monday from 3:25–4:10 pm, a few NHS members volunteer as tutors in room 233 of the lower school (the Latin classroom).
This is an opportunity for students to work on homework and ask questions as the NHS volunteers circulate to answer their questions rather than a one-on-one tutoring time.
Sign-ups are open each Thursday through Sunday, or until all 20 spots are filled.
3rd–6th grade students who are signed up walk themselves to room 233 at dismissal time and parents may pick up from that classroom at 4:10 pm. Any students who are not picked up from the classroom at 4:10 pm by a parent or designated pickup person are taken to aftercare and signed in at this point and aftercare fees apply.
