Teachers, older students provide volunteer help Like all successful after-school programs, the Sports Club relies on strong classroom teacher support. During the school year, teachers submit weekly reports on every kid in the program. The reports determine the subjects that students will focus on during their weekly tutorials, which are supervised by teachers, older students and volunteers. At 8 a.m. one Saturday in March, Sports Club members at Iroquois Middle School spread their books and notebooks on cafeteria tables. Three seventh-graders work together on a vocabulary lesson.
