Abstract:
Building on a tradition of service to the Plainfield community since 1995, Plainfield Community Outreach will provide after school activities at Clinton, Evergreen and Barlow schools in the Plainfield district. This program will feature academic tutoring by NJ certified teachers in accordance with the New Jersey Core Curriculum standards and in consultation with the principal of each school. Additionally, students will receive homework help daily. Each week, students will receive enrichment in art, performing arts, martial arts, and fitness. All activities are designed to combine character education with the skills and knowledge taught in each session. In cooperation with the Plainfield YMCA, students and their families will have opportunities for recreation and fitness. Parents will receive seminars on health, nutrition and career-related topics.
