A group of Montgomery County volunteers and educators are working together to make sure kids have the extra support they need to succeed in the classroom.
The"Rising Stars Homework Club" helped 45 kids this year in the Wissahickon School District stay up-to-date on their work, and gave them a fun activity to do after school."When I was young, I could have used a program like this. So when my friend came to me and said, 'this is something I want to do,' I said, 'you know, this is something that's dear to my heart,'" said Fabiani, a 26-year veteran of the school district who is the director of the club.
"At the beginning of the year, we had first and second graders that could not do basic skills at all. We're talking about writing basic sight words. We're talking using scissors," said Maltin, a former high school teacher and community advocate who serves as the club's supervisor. "Help them increase their level of confidence. When they're sure they can't do something and you break it into the small pieces and they can do it and they're successful," said Quinn.
