THE COMMUNITY SCHOOL PROGRAM

How beautiful is youth! How bright it gleams with its illusions, aspirations, dreams!

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Enjoy the beauty of youth and join with us to help make a difference in the life of a La Pine student this year! You’re invited to join our team of volunteers who believe that by spending as little as an hour a week we can make a difference that will last a lifetime.

The Community School Program is an afterschool program developed for our middle school and high school students right here in the city of La Pine. It’s goal, to provide academic support to the schools through tutoring and homework help centers and to offer personal enrichment activities designed to help our teens discover their talents, strengths, aspirations and dreams. Come be a part of the dream! Opportunities to make a difference run Monday through Friday and exist at both the middle school and high school campuses while school is in session. Give Lynn Buck a call at 541-536-2223 to discover how you can make a difference!
