Arcanum-Butler
joins Empowering’s After School Programs
ARCANUM – Arcanum-Butler Middle School has joined the Empowering Darke
County Youth Mission by establishing an After School Tutoring Program
for its fifth and sixth grade students.
“We are very excited to be working with Empowering Darke County Youth
at Arcanum-Butler Middle School,” said Jason Vince, Arcanum-Butler
Middle School Principal. “We feel it will be an excellent opportunity
for our kids to receive structured academic support after school two
days a week.”
The Empowering program is in addition to a weekly program currently
being offered. “These programs will provide students a path for after
school assistance three times a week,” Vince continued. “While the
focus will be in the areas of Math and English, we believe it will be
much more than just curriculum-based. It will provide a safe
environment for students which we hope will enable them to feel
comfortable with getting help.”
“We are excited that Arcanum-Butler will be joining us this year,” said
Eric Fee, Empowering President. “We look forward to working with them
in the years to come. We are happy to be of service, and hope to
provide the same help to any school district that wants us.”
Empowering After School Programs are now being provided in three
districts: Greenville, Ansonia, and now Arcanum-Butler. Summer tutoring
was cancelled this year at Edison State Community College due to the
pandemic, but hopefully can be offered again in 2021. Empowering also
offers year-around individual tutoring at Greenville Public Library and
online tutoring at Empowering Distance. State and local guidelines for
health and safety of everyone involved are followed in all programs.
Vince said that two staff members, Mrs. Jacie Holman and Mrs. Jaimee
Garbig, will be leading the program. “Each of them brings a skill set
to education that will go a long way in assisting our students in both
the short and long term. We can't wait to get started!”
“Neither can we,” said Bob Robinson, Empowering Executive Director. “We
welcome Arcanum-Butler to our family and are pleased that we can help.”
