Individual Homework Assistance: Homework is a very important componant of the Center. Students are given as much one on one help as possible.
Drug & Alcohol Prevention: With the help of Dauphin County DNA, students are taught the dangers of drugs, alcohol and cigaretts.
Life Skills Classes: Character and moral development is built through various age appropriate classes and activities.
Incentive Trips: Students have the opportunity to earn field trips based on good behavior and homework completion. Some recent trips have been rollerskating, a corn-maze and apple picking at Paulus Orchards, and a trip to the IMAX theator, thanks to the Whitaker Center!
Tutoring Program...
Students who need extra academic help have the opportunity to participate in the Tutoring Program on Tuesday evenings. The primary objective of the Tutoring Program is to come alongside the students and their parents by connecting with their teachers to determine their academic needs and the best plan to meet those needs. A new point based incentive gives students a sense of ownership and accomplishment! If interested in helping with the tutoring program, please contact the Center and ask for Linda Semke or Kirsten Ware.
