ABOUT H.O.S.T.S - Help One Student to Succeed

HOSTS is not a curriculum, but an instructional strategy designed to complement the existing curriculum at James Bickley Elementary School.

HOSTS provides assistance to students who need help developing reading skills using one-on-one mentoring by a community volunteer.

HOSTS mentors provide role models who motivate, support, and provide individual attention for "at risk" students.
