'ale the centers' key resources•
Grandview Learning Centers are
now enrolling students for reading
and math courses. Flexible one-hour
after school sessions are available.
Students are pre-tested to assess
their current strengths, and then, a
program of one or two sessions per
week is followed. The centers limit
teachers to three students per ses-
sion, so constant one-on-one atten-
hen and encouragement is a result.
This extra time and attention after
school helps students excel.
The centers are locally owned
aad operated.. FOr more informa-
tion:i call 647-5006.
Meeting Set
The February meeting covered
aspects of the upcoming Bear Din-
ner to be held March 3. The pro-
ceeds from this year's dinner have
been pledged for Saving Our School
and parents are encouraged to help
in preparation. This year's dinner
promises to be unusually large,
there is more bear meat than ever
before, and a call to all community
members to help make this the big-
gest and best dinner ever is being
issued. ~"
More help is needed the after-
noon of march 2 at the school to
prepare cakes and organize other
dishes for the "big day."
Extra cooperation and help from
everyone in the community is
needed this year to insure support
for the Junior High School, accord-
ing to Carolyn Stephens, Secretary
of the Community Action Group.
