For the eighth year, the sixth through eighth grade students have the opportunity to be homework tutors at The Family Service League in Huntington Station. Children age five and up will come to the center to receive one-on-one help with their homework or any academic subjects. In addition, last spring, we added a new program, the Harbor House Assisted Living in Oyster Bay. Our students will be visiting with the seniors at the assisted living center. They will be playing games, engaging in conversation and reading to and with the seniors.
The success of the project depends on the seriousness of our students’ commitment -- the young students expect their tutors to be there every other Monday and the seniors will be looking forward to the companionship. East Woods students will commit to participate either every other week or every week (on Monday) at the location of their choice.
Six students will leave East Woods promptly after sports. Should students be volunteering at The Family Service League in Huntington Station, pick up will be at 5:20 p.m. at the center, or 5:40 p.m. at East Woods.
Students who volunteer at the Harbor House Assisted Living Center should be picked up there at 4:45 p.m., or 4:55 p.m. at East Woods.
If your child would like to participate in this exceptional opportunity to help others, he or she will have to sign up as such on the attendance sheet and provide the pick-up place as well as an emergency phone number.
Monday Community Service program will start again on April 16, 2012 for the spring term.
