Subject: Terp and Eagles Science Club needs your help!

Description:

The Terp and Eagle Science Club (TESC) is a STEM tutoring program for local
elementary school students.  Carole Highlands Elementary School (Eagles) is a
nearby Title I school where most of the parents have not attended even high
school and 99% of the students receive free lunch and breakfast.  With
leadership from Dr. Marcia Shofner, our BSCI students began a tutoring
program for 4th, 5th and 6th grade students in STEM homework three times a
week last spring to help motivate these kids to come to college. This fall,
the attendance doubled!

In order to continue, our BSCI tutors need your support for transportation
and background checks, school supplies, snacks and STEM enrichment material
for the 58 kids who regularly attend.
******Please give your support to this BSCI Launch at

More are signing up each week and any donation amount - $1 to $1000 - will
help!
Thank you for supporting this important effort.
