Timeline

= **WHEN: 2009-Until (Gap Closes)**  = First year, 2009-10, 20 students-15 boys and 5 girls, a tough group. Each scored a 1 or 2 on EOG previous year and were on the border of non promotion. At the end of the year, all students passed with 3's and 4's in math and reading. While three African American males took in again and all scored a 3. On 5th grade Science, I had one female to make a 4, I cried that day. They all want to change for themselves, parents, siblings and their teachers. It was a tough year for all of us. I know I did not do this alone, but I want to think I played a part in their success.

This year, 2010-2011, 19 students-8 boys and 11 girls, another tough group, but sweet. Some changes I am making this year will be more contact with their teachers (Teacher Evals), keep a running record or a journal about the club, Speakers, Fieldtrips, and more character building.

This is an ongoing club and its popularity is growing every year. The club starts around September through May. It includes 4th and 5th graders. We also giving the students a Certificate of Participation at the end of the year.
