On Tuesdays during the academic year, high school students from the Greater Lawrence area teach at the Leonard School. The curriculum is designed to augment the language arts and math skills of motivated children in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades.
Teachers work in pairs with two to four students.
Wednesday enrichment trips and activities broaden the children's horizons and allow time for them to develop friendships with students in an informal setting. Teachers meet with a teacher and a student coordinator on Thursday afternoons to participate in teaching-skills training and to evaluate the preceding week. These meetings also give volunteers an opportunity to work with and get to know PALS teachers from other area high schools. Participants Participants Up to 50 students.
