When looking into the Oxford school district, there is an apparent need for volunteers who can help students that struggle in school.
Even though 20 mentors were recruited for Oxford High School and 25 for Oxford Middle School there is still a growing need for more volunteers in all the schools. For example, Oxford High School still needs 25 and Oxford Middle School even needs 100. The greatest need for tutors is in the lower grades, school officials said. They hope that the tutoring relationship might lead into mentoring.
There are many children who face each new school year with little optimism because they struggle in the classroom. Volunteers can make a difference in the lives of these children.
Each school, whether it be the elementary, middle or high school, has a need for tutors and mentors. There is especially a need for volunteers at the high school because of the greater risk of students dropping out.
Anyone interested may apply at the district office.
