You Can't Be Absent

"My favorite days are Tuesday and
Thursday because we have
NIGHT OWLS.
I love it!  You can't be absent on those days.
We have snacks and read books.
Then the nice lady on the 
bus takes me home afterwards."

This girl says it so well.
Thanks for your support- on behalf of our kids!

Every child should feel like a kid
in a candy store when they come to school.

Brothers Are We

"We're in NIGHT OWLS and like it.
Homework help is one reason
and the snacks aren't too bad either."

Honesty is the best policy!

Great Reasons

"I am happy to be in the after-school 
this year.  They were at NIGHT OWLS 
doing a film last week and I wanted to tell 
the high school students my reasons.  
When you re getting help with homework,
your grades go up; it feels good!  I want
 my mom and teacher to be proud of me.  
When tutoring is over, I have more time
 to play at home with my brother because
of the help we get on Tuesday and Thursday
nights from teachers and volunteers.
Thank you for letting me be interviewed."  

This boy says it so well.
Thanks for support- on behalf of our kids!
