Well summer is almost over and the activity that tells that school is about to open is occurring. Parents are buying back to school clothes, and backpacks are starting to fill up with school supplies for the coming new school year. Here at ACTS, we too are getting ready for another new school year. The last two and a half years have been a challenge due to the covid-19 pandemic restrictions. But we were able to pivot and still provide tutoring services at four of our seven sites. We are looking forward to reopening all of our previous sites and hope to open three new sites by the Spring of 2023. I appreciate the dedication and continued hard work our site directors and tutors, especially demonstrated during the pandemic. Truly they are the heart and soul of our ACTS ministry!
The pandemic has left many children further behind and with little resources to catch up. Research by school systems and educational foundations, such as the Brooking Institute, indicate that the lost reading and math skills, called “Covid-slide”, will be hard to make up for many children, especially for younger children who just started attending school during the pandemic and are now in 2nd and 3rd grade. Their lack of some of the basic and fundamental skills, they would have learned in earlier grades but missed because schools were closed, or because they were unable to participate in hybrid class situations, put them at a greater disadvantage. But that’s why ACTS exists, to give that extra help to those elementary school children who need it most.
As we prepare to reopen and recruit not only new students but also new tutors and site directors, we hope you will consider joining our team of dedicated and caring tutors and site directors in fulfilling our mission to make a continued difference – one child at a time! Please contact us about becoming a tutor or site director today!
