October 2011 - April 2012: Friendship Shalom Community After-School Tutoring: Tutoring and meaningful activities for neighborhood children in grades 2 - 4 will be offered at several city churches. Children will be referred by teachers at Goode Elementary. Ministry partners are needed to tutor, provide transportation, and to assist with art, music, recreation and snacks. You are encouraged to choose a day, time and activity that suits your gifts and schedule regardless of the location. Tutoring ends April 10th.
