SCHOOL-LINKED PROGRAMS
Friday Night Fever: A drug/alcohol free event with music, games, snacks and door prizes, offered 6 times a year on Friday nights for both Reed and Study Middle school students.
After-School Clubs and Tutoring: We support a wide variety of after school and summer programs/activities in Caring Communities Schools. Here are highlights from just a few that are being offered this year:
- Drug Free Club at Reed Middle School
- Overachievers at Study Middle School
- Boys and Girls Night Out at Westport Elementary
- Camping Club at Robberson Elementary
- Portland Academy at Portland Elementary
- Building Better Boydies at Boyd Elementary
MAP Support: To help the schools during MAP testing, we provide nutritious snacks for students and support parent involvement activities focused on preparation for MAP testing. We also work with local churches to include our MAP support slogan, "Many are Praying for our Students," in bulletins, marquees, and in church services.
Community Based Social Work: Our Community Based Social Worker works to connect families with community resources, facilitates student groups, works with school staff to address the needs of at risk students, and supervises interns from Missouri State, Drury and Evangel Universities.
