| Church's tutoring program helping Jackson High School students Posted: 29 Dec 2010 08:21 PM PST Published: Wednesday, December 29, 2010, 11:03 PM Updated: Thursday, December 30, 2010, 9:35 AMTraynesha Fells first came to the tutoring program at First Presbyterian Church in October to serve an after-school detention. At the time, the Jackson High School sophomore said her grades were "iffy." She started meeting with tutors and had fun working through the problems. Fells has been coming ever since. "Now I know I can do better," she said. Every Tuesday and Thursday after school, a group of volunteers from the church provide tutoring to students in a building next door at 739 W. Michigan Ave. They call it the Hive. In 2005, the church purchased the building, which formerly housed offices for the South Central Michigan Chapter of the American Red Cross and the United Way. The hope is to have it be home to different organizations to provide more activities for Jackson youth, said John McLaughlin, one of the organizers. "Bees run around doing a lot of things for the common good," McLaughlin said, explaining the Hive's name. Bethany Christian Services, an adoption agency, has offices in the building, and every Thursday a Shop Rats program is held, where students learn how to use power tools and build projects. One drawback, however, is that the two-story building does not have an elevator. The church hopes it can secure funding to make the building accessible to those with disabilities. The tutoring program started in February 2010 as a way to help address the drop-out rate at Jackson High School. Tutors work closely with the school — teachers refer students and provide textbooks and other course materials. While the number of participants varies, a good day can bring anywhere from 15 to 20 students, McLaughlin said. It can be helpful to troubleshoot with someone else, he said. Having the tutoring program outside of school gives students a change of pace. On a recent Thursday afternoon, Fells was reviewing information about dual-enrollment at the Jackson Area Career Center. Her friend De'Markus Miles, 16, was studying 19th-century German history. Dave Polson, a tutor, came into the room and had more information for Miles about a massage-therapy program at Baker College, something Miles wants to pursue after high school. Polson, 50, said it is important to give back to the community — he had mentors while growing up who helped him develop. "They challenged me to be better," Polson said. "Things they said to me my father said to me, but I wouldn't listen." How to help Organizers are looking for more tutors who can help with different subjects, including math, biology and chemistry. Interested volunteers can call First Presbyterian Church in Jackson at 784-9175.
