Friday Harbor Elementary School and the After School Study Club would like to extend a sincere “Thank you” to the United Way of San Juan County.

With their support, 20 children in 1st-5th grades have been meeting three days a week with two staff members and one high school student. The students enjoy a snack, stretch their legs on the playground, and then gather to complete homework.

Through small group and one-on-one learning, they practice efficient time management and valuable study skills. Students who attend appreciate the dedicated space and time to work on their homework and on their projects.

One student made the following comment when asked about Study Club, “Thank you United Way for letting me to go study club. It’s very fun. I like that I can get my homework done! Thank you.”

Thank you again, United Way of San Juan County. Every day you make a positive difference in the lives of our students and in our community.
