HOSTS and MATCH

HOSTS and MATCH are mentoring programs for our students who need extra help in either reading or math. Older students, parents and community volunteers spend a half hour working with students during the school day.

HOSTS (Helping One Student To Succeed) is a reading and writing mentoring program

MATCH (Math Achievement Through Community Helpers) is our mentoring program that focuses on Math.

Research shows that through one-to-one teaching students:

*Learn Faster
*Become More Self-Reliant
*Increase Their Self-Esteem
*Attend School More Regularly
*Have Fewer Discipline Problems

Mentors for New Branches students include:

*Community Members
*Parents, Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles
*6th Grade Students
*New Branches School Staff
*College Students

If you would like to become a volunteer mentor for either HOSTS or MATCH please contact Nancy Prullage at 443-0674 or you can email her on the faculty page.
