Wahoo for Workout Wednesdays!

Every Wednesday immediately after class, a group of students and volunteers are joining together for Workout Wednesday. Over 35 students have participated in a workout so far and the buzz is growing.

Amazing Math Volunteers….PhD work optional

We are helping students that need to expand their knowledge of fractions, decimals and percents so they can suceed in real life situations and GED testing. And we are offering an intro to algebra for students that will be getting their GED this year and going on to even greater pursuits.

It is time.

For weeks, I have committed to write about the buzz that is going on.
