R.A.P. Sessions at Saint Philip’s
This tutoring session ministry has begun – R.A.P. (Raising Academic Performance) and
will continue every Monday from 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. Please bring children,
grandchildren, or children of friends if you think they would benefit from additional
academic support. ALL grade levels! Please also bring samples of your child’s work
in a folder. Providing a few samples of your child’s classwork, homework, and
assessments would allow tutors to analyze the work, and provide appropriate
learning steps. We look forward to seeing you at our R.A.P. sessions.
