SMP E-Board

Hey guys,
If you are interested in tutoring at the Portsmouth library we’re going to hold a meeting this Thursday (Feb. 7) at noon at the subway deck. Those of you who can’t make the meeting please email Nigelle or myself and we’ll let you know what the meeting was about.

See you guys there!

Mohita and Nigelle

This morning Inem, Austin, Micah and I all took a trip to the Portsmouth Public Library to tutor local students. When we arrived, we were surprised by the librarian who asked us if we were the “French teachers.” Apparently, there was a little miscommunication, because she expected us to be tutoring kids in French. After we explained that we were Ross students there to tutor kids who needed help with their homework, she quickly walked around to find some students. Inem and Austin went to the back of the library to help a few students with history and agriculture. I sat down to help a girl with her Social Studies homework, and Micah began helping a girl (Franchesca) with her math homework.
