Petree Offers Students Another
Chance to Make the Grade

Krystal Little was put 9m of ;
Petree Middle Schobl f9r fighting
? and she refused to go to LIFT Acad?
emy.
After spending. a month at
- home. Little, 14, wanted to continue
her education so she joined a special
program at Petree designed to help"
her get back in school.
She said the program has
allowed her to redeem herself with
out facing the peer pressure that
( landed her on the streets. She has
eVen made up with the person she
. fought.
"We staned talking and we are
friends now," she said. "If we had
went back to the same (environ
ment) somebody would have tried
to see us fight again. I can learn bet
ter with a small group of people
because the teacher cap see every
*hi"g that goes on."
Little is one of nine "high-risk
students" recruited for the program
by Petree Principal Ben Henderson'.
Henderson went door to door
this summer to bring the children
into the program because he
believes everyone can learn if they
are given an opportunity ? or
sometimes many opportunities. .
"There is no learning out there
in the streets, he said. "We have to
do all we can to get the kids b^ck in
school."
Petree After School Session, or
PASS, was started as^a pilot pro
gram May 17 for students who had
been put out of Petree and later put
out of LIFT Academy.
Mandy Lott, coordinator of
PASS, said the program lasts from
1-4 p.m. and gives reading, mathe
matics, conflict resolution and
behavior management.'
Lott said it is a feeder into sum
mer school, and if the students pass,
they will advance to the next grade
level.
Henderson said Petre^ spends
$3. 0(X) on the program to pay teach
ers to w<
gram.
Susan Carson, communications
manager of the citv/county school *
system, said the funds come from
differentiated pay alloted by the:
state fotr teachers who work extra
hours with students.

All nine cbmpleted the pro
gram. which ended June 9. Summer
school program begins July 5.
