'Extended day' helps students

Shaw students can get extra help during Shaw's extended day program The Community Times The extended day program gives students at Shaw something to do after school instead of geting home and not knowing what to do. The extended day program was spearheaded by teacher coordinator Mrs. Elane Wells, who designed the program to keep kids of the streets,and teach technology to the students and to generate various writing from the students for the purpose of publishing. -need quote from Miss Davis,what does she have to say about it? -how long has it been going on and when did it start? "Their aim is to teach better writing skills through the art of technology," Miss Davis said. The students finish projects that they did not finish in class, and they hope to later publish a magazine, Miss Davis added. During the program, students also work on the newsletter. -What is the aim news letter? The students and the teachers meet Mondays through Thursdays from 3-5 p.m. At this time Miss Davis is the only person who handles the extended day until other teachers finish prior obligations. Students are encouraged by the classroom teachers to complete class projects at this time. Mrs Davis reviews the work offers soggestons, edit papers and writing to get a final print.. They use some of this time to edit writings for the Aim newsletter. Any items that the Aim business needs help with the extended day will be used, to make brochurces, toward the buesinesses letter writing campaign,and any work related to advertising of the Beverage Company.They have some students that are consistant more are always welcome. I believe it will pick up as the school year progresses and teachers begin class projects that the studentsare unable to complete in class. -When did the extended day start. -Why did they decide to have it after school -Are there other programs that teach technology in the school.
