- By Jayme Marrotte

Happy ‘back to school week’ for all of our elementary and high school students! Phelps Helps will be kicking off our weekly programs on September 11th for the 2018-19 school year. This year, two new programs have been added to our schedule: Phelps en français (Elementary) and Family Literacy.

Phelps en français (Elementary) is an after-school tutoring program at Jardindes-frontières on Wednesdays. Coordinate­d by our newest team member, Alvin Sully, this program will provide support for students working on their homework and engage the students in focused activities in Math and Literacy. Every session will include healthy snacks and 25 minutes of physical activity.

The Family Literacy Program will host events throughout the school year with fun activities for the whole family. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for informatio­n about upcoming activities and how to sign up. Our coordinato­r has some exciting ideas in store.
