Students sit by grade so
they can try to help each
other. Often times the older
students read to the younger
students. Some of the SES
teachers stop in and help
some of the students occa-

The Sisters Community
Schools Initiative is in its
sixth year. This school year
marks the last year in a three-
year commitment by the Ford
Family Foundation of up to
$10,000 for the Sisters pro-
gram. All new donor con-
tributions that are received
prior to June 30, 2016 will be
matched dollar-for-dollar up
to $10,000.
“We are excited to be
able to announce this match-
ing grant opportunity,” says
Rob Meeter, director of the
Community Schools Program
at Sisters Park & Recreation
District. “This program
affords parents and caregivers
some additional time where
they know their child is well-
cared for while they finish
their work day.”
In addition to the main
program hosted at Sisters
Elementary School there
are also periodic classes at
Sisters Middle School. Those
classes have included cook-
ing, archery, enrichment time,
‘biz kids’ and more. Each of
the middle school classes host
eight to 10 students.
“I love working with the
kids in homework club,” says
staffer Imogen Rex. “The
students benefit from some
structured time with their
classmates to work on home-
work. The parents who work
