SPARK: Supporting Peers and Reinforcing Knowledge meets on Wednesdays in the CORE from 3:15 to 4:00 pm.

The purpose of SPARK is to have students tutor students in all subjects. Student tutors must have a teacher recommendation, but can be in any grade. Student tutors can receive Service Hours.

All students are invited to get tutored.

Students that are tutors are living out the CORE value of service. They serve their fellow student and in turn also get an opportunity to learn what they are tutoring better themselves. Experience with tutoring could assist students in college with getting a job tutoring.Students that are receiving tutoring are learning a valuable skill of asking for help when they need it. This is also a valuable skill to have in college. College students who work as a tutor, may also go to tutoring for the classes they are in.

Builders Club is an international organization for middle school students where the building of character and developing leadership is the focus.  The vision is to develop competent, capable, caring leaders through the vehicle of service. The members serve their school, their community, their world.

Builders Club meets 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the Month at 7:15 in room 223 (Ms. Tesdorff's room). All Jr High students are welcome. 

Although service projects haven’t yet been discussed, in the past we have had 2 major book drives for 2 local schools, students raised enough funds to build one concrete wall for an elementary school in Guatemala ($500), and we’ve helped Rockford Lutheran families who are experiencing hardships.  We try to do one project with K Kids at RLA and another with the high school Key Club each year.

Our motto: To God Be the Glory as we serve Him.

Advisor:  Ms. Tesdorff

There is no cost to join the club.  Participation in the club will build fellowship and develop critical thinking skills.
