gram tutored local 5* graders in the
Rise and Shine After School Enrich
ment Program. The 5* graders ar
rive at Brevard College around 3pm,
are met by the honors students, and
move to the Learning Enhancement
Center located on the 2"“^ floor of
McClarty-Goodson. The 5* grad
ers get a quick snack, then begin the
tutoring session. Each Rise and Shine
student is paired up with a different
B.C. honors student on each day of
the week. Each child is tutored on
homework that they need help with.
“They help me with math,
