Breakthrough Cincinnati
Lisa Dankovich asked me to send you the attached letter “Breakthrough
Cincinnati” she received.  Breakthrough Cincinnati’s School Year
Program is recruiting college students to teach and tutor a diverse
group of middle school students.  Teachers will teach an academic
enrichment lesson in one of two core subjects- math or Latin.  The
Program takes place on Saturday mornings at Walnut Hills High School.
Students who teach and tutor will receive a $600 stipend.  Students
who only tutor will receive a $230 stipend.  Feel free to distribute
this to any students you feel might be interested.

Please tell the students that APPLICATIONS ARE DUE SEPTEMBER 23RD AND
CAN BE DOWNLOADED AT http://www.breakthroughcincinnati.org/
Thanks for helping to develop this partnership with Miami University
and Walnut Hills High School.
