Enka Middle School Gears Up For the First Homework Diner

Submitted by Elisabeth on Thu, 10/06/2016 - 3:56pm

Homework Diners are weekly family engagement events that will take place on Tuesday evenings in the Enka Middle School cafeteria, starting November 15th.  

Students and families will receive a free meal; students and families will also receive tutoring support and help with homework from trained teachers and volunteer tutors. Homework Diners are open to any family in the Enka-Candler community, whether they have a child attending the school or not. Attendees will also have the chance to learn about community resources and take advantage of a variety of educational programs at these events.

Volunteer opportunities include:

  • Registering attendees at the event
  • Set up and clean up
  • Serving food and cleaning up after the meal
  • Supporting students and their parents with homework help (if you plan to be involved in this, background checks may be necessary)

We will list additional Homework Diner volunteer opportunities soon - so keep your eyes open. In the meantime, you can read more about local plans and a news feature about Homework Diner from another community's efforts here.
