LUNENBURG -- Lunenburg High School is proud to announce the continuation of its Peer Tutor Program for semester II.

On Monday, March 8, a new group of seven outstanding students attended a Peer Tutor Training Seminar and were officially inducted as new members into the program. In collaboration with Fitchburg State College, LHS has been able to establish and maintain this important program, which has become a successful addition to the academic support services available to all students at LHS.

LHS Peer Tutors volunteer their time to work one-on-one with peers and in return, earn valuable community service hours. They offer a unique student perspective on learning because each tutor possesses a distinctive knowledge base, tutoring is available in a multitude of subject areas. This program gives students a wonderful opportunity to support each other and has proven to reinforce the positive social climate among students at LHS. The program is a win-win situation for all parties involved.

The training seminar was presented by Tom Rousseau, assistant dean of Academic Support Services and director of the Tutor Center at FSC, who volunteers his time to share with LHS those same strategies that he uses to train tutors at FSC.

Academic support is available to all students before school, during school, and after school, Monday to Thursday from 2:15 to 3:15 p.m., in all subject areas. For information, e-mail Sara Capodagli, program director, at scapodagli@lunenburgonline.com.
