PIRS … Partners in Reading Success! PIRS pairs adult mentors with elementary school children to work on development of reading and comprehension skills. The teacher and parent coordinators provide good training and some simple tools to help you work with students in a one hour session weekly, on Thursday or Friday morning. Please contact Pastor Brad at the church office and he’ll connect you with the program coordinators. This is a great way to make a profound difference in the education and life of an aspiring student. And yes, he’s a PIRS mentor himself!
