Alpha Phi Omega Students Provide Generous Grant
Some of our most enthusiastic Saturday tutors are members of CASE's chapter of
Alpha Phi Omega (APO), a national service fraternity. In the Spring of 2005, they applied
for (and received!) a Youth Service Grant from their national headquarters to
benefit the tutoring program.
The chapter's Service Vice President said, "The APO
members who volunteer on Saturdays thought that some new and different supplies
could really increase the impact that we have with the tutoring program."
She explained, "We chose the tutoring program because it is one of our
favorite projects, it is our most stable commitment, and we really wanted to
help . . ."
The $500 grant that CASE's APO chapter received will provide dry-erase boards
and markers, world and U.S. map puzzles, and several instructional games like
the "Pie in the Sky" fraction game, which will reinforce classroom instruction
and make learning more fun.
Speaking for APO's members, the Service VP said, "We all greatly enjoy volunteering with
the program and wanted to do everything in our power to help out. Thanks for
providing such a great volunteer opportunity for us."
The Church of the Covenant sincerely thanks the members of Alpha Phi Omega for
sharing their time, talents, and ideas to improve the Saturday Tutoring Program.
