Help Little Kids Learn French

Edgemont Elementary is seeking French students
to be volunteers in their French classrooms.
Have you ever wanted to make a difference in the life of a little elementary school student?  Have you ever wanted to share your love of French with others?  Have you ever wanted to relive your elementary school days?  If you've answered yes to any of these questions keep reading (even if you didn't answer yes, you should probably keep reading...it's a really cool opportunity.)


Principle Dennis Pratt of Edgemont Elementary is looking for volunteers to help in his school's French classes.  The available classes are for grades 1 through 3, both morning and afternoon.  There are lots of positions available for BYU French students, so don't count yourself out.


What you'll be doing is pretty straight forward.  You will be working either one-on-one with students or in small groups.  You will primarily be tutoring French Literacy or French Math (I should brush up on my vocab there.)


How do you get this job?  Probably the best first step to starting this program would be to run it by one of your French professors; just to make sure they think you can handle the position.  Next either call 801-221-9984 and leave you contact info with one of the secretaries, or send an email to the principle himself at DennisP@provo.edu.  From there you will be set up with a teacher that will work best for you.


The relationship that the BYU French Department has had with Edgemont Elementary has always been pretty good.  So let me just give out one more shout of encouragement to go help out this school.  I know it will be an awesome experience for anyone who gets to participate.


Well everyone happy Wednesday, and good luck with the rest of the week!
