September of the 20th year.

September is typically one of the most hectic months for the us at Educational Main Street. The returning students are coming int to the office to sign up for tutoring slots, the freshman are coming in needed help in signing up on line for the program and work study students are trying to get a handle on all the payroll paperwork. The new coordinators (all 12 are relatively new to their positions) need training and the bus schedule needs to be tweaked each year. This year has been even more hectic as we have added on a new site, introduced our program to a new interim superintendent, and closed out a $200,000 grant for one of our after school programs. It may sound like a list of draining events but in reality it is the vibrant rhythm of a program that has one foot in the community and one foot on a college campus. The energy that it produces keeps the staff going when our own energy levels begin to wain. It is September! Let the semester begin!
