welcome to our after school tutor

Due to a state Department of Education grant, we are now able to have a certified teacher tutor for our Gustke shelter youth after school, in addition to the work of Mr. Apgar during the school day. Anna Cutler is in this position, and we welcome her enthusiastically. She has been on the job only a few days, and there is a lot to pick up about the dynamics of youth in shelter, and their particular educational needs and situations. There is also a lot to understand about the shelter's daily routine and "who is who." Since she is working out of our Mid Town Family Resource Center, there are also a lot of people and bustle over here for her to understand and get used to. This additional educational boost for the youth, and potentially for some other youth "at risk" for homelessness in the community, is a great resource we are excited about as we begin a new school year.
