Dear apprentices, families and Citizen Teachers:
And we're off! Citizen Schools at the Garfield is in full Swing! We have an amazing group of students, staff,
teachers and volunteers who spend Monday through Friday together
focusing on student achievement. Every week, students have an
opportunity to foster personal and academic success.
- Twice a week, students participate in exciting hands-on
learning experiences called Apprenticeships in which they learn
real-life skills such as architecture, law, cooking, photography and
more. Apprenticeships are taught by community volunteers and Citizen
Schools staff.
- Students spend much of their time on campus
with their team. Student teams are like a home base for students; a
place where they can feel comfortable and known develop social and
team-work skills.
If you are interested in enrolling your child in our program, learning more about how you can volunteer with or join Citizen Schools' staff please feel free to stop by our office at the Garfield or call me. I look forward to seeing you!
