Ems hts a high note

Educational Main Street is closing out its 20th anniversary celebrations with a bang by hitting a high mark in the number of tutors trained, oriented, and placed at EMS' Greater Hartford partner schools this semester. Two hundred sixty-three (263) University of Hartford students worked with 300 children individually or in small groups both during school and after school in grades pre-kindergarten through high school.

The EMS Tutoring Program is a unique program where everyone teaches and everyone learns. The tutors learn a great deal about their course work as they teach the children in the service-learning project. The children learn everything from forming letters to forming equations while they teach the university students lessons about life.

Mangaging the volune of student tutors are 15 dedicated student leaders know as Tutor Coordinators. They ensure that every student finds a placement and very child who needs one gets a tutor. Their dediation and leadership contribute to the success of the EMS Tutoring Program.

We at EMS are proud to be part of such a wonderful program. We will be celebrating together(all 260+) as a community over food and gifts on December 8th.

We are looking forward to the challenges and successes of our 21st year. Together we do make a difference.
