Final Call For Registration For Free YWCA Of Alton Community Tutoring Program

The tutoring sessions are aimed at preventing summer learning loss in reading and math. Data from last year showed either no learning loss or learning gains in all grades reviewed with one exception. The Tutoring program utilizes certified teachers and reading curriculum provided by the Alton School District.

The program is funded with grants from the Phillips 66 Wood River Refinery, Alton Community Service League, and private donors. Sammi’s Sandwiches and the Alton Sack Lunch Program are providing meals for the students. Snack donations are still being solicited.
