This school year, Thoreau piloted a community tutor program for 4th and 5th graders. THANK YOU to our first-semester tutors, whose one-on-one attention helped nearly all participants improve their fluency scores! Seven students "graduated" by meeting or exceeding grade-level fluency scores, allowing for the program to extend to third grade after Winter Break. 

If you're interested in tutoring, reach out to Amy Martino.
