Please invite any students who may be interested to this event. Refreshments will be served!
Student tutoring volunteer needed
After school volunteer opportunity: A high school teacher is looking for a volunteer who would join her once or twice a week tutoring a student at home. When a student cannot physically make it to school for health reasons, they get assigned a homebound teacher. We are looking for someone who could help them with Algebra homework. Transportation is available from the supervising teacher if needed.
Interested? Contact Laura Koterba-Buss at koterbla@champaignschools.org or 217-898-6807
