What is BOOST?
BOOST stands for Building On Our Strengths Together. In the BOOST program, we provide support to those students that need a little extra help in the regular classroom in Reading and Language Arts. We work in small groups with the students and many times, one on one. This small group instruction allows the student to gain a better understanding of what skill he/she is working on.
We also have mentors that come to volunteer usually 30 minutes once a week. The mentors work with a student on a specific skill during that time. We already have it set up for them when they come so all they have to do is just show up and work with the student on the given assignment. We try to keep the mentor with the same student each time; therefore, they begin to build a student/mentor relationship. If you are interested in being a mentor, please feel free to email me at jalea.adams@gulfportschools.org. We would love to have you to come in and volunteer!!! I look forward to hearing from you!!
