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.

PLAY SYNOPSIS: "Miss Brooks has plenty of teacher troubles and her "escape" is in dreaming about her vacation. She has travel folders of several Caribbean cruises which she discusses with the athletic coach who owns his own little sailboat. Miss Brooks suddenly sees that perhaps he's "the man" for her. She's glad she isn't putting on the school play this year so she won't have to fight him for use of the gym. Then the ax falls. The play is thrust upon her! A battle royal develops. The coach's star athlete Ted gives up the team to play the leading boy's part. The daughter of the school board president is determined to play opposite him but she reads her lines so poorly that Miss Brooks gives the role to an attractive nobody with real talent." - The Dramatic Publishing Company.
