WARFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
W.E.S. Reading Lab
(formerly HOSTS -HELP ONE STUDENT TO SUCCEED)

W.E.S. Reading Lab is a volunteer academic mentoring program that pairs a student who is struggling in school with a community member who wants to make a difference in the life of a young person.

As a volunteer mentor, you are given carefully designed individualized lesson plans tailored to a student's level. Special help and guidance is given throughout the year by the W.E.S. instructor to help insure a successful experience for both you and the student. Teaching experience or  a college education is not necessary. Anyone who can follow directions and show concern to a student is qualified to be a W.E.S. Reading Lab mentor.

Scheduling is arranged  to accommodate busy schedules.

To find out how you can make a difference in the life of a student by joining W.E.S. Reading Lab, call Jade Cheramie at Warfield Elementary 772-597-2551 or at 772-220-9106.
