Free Summer Math Tutoring Opportunity
Stride K12 is looking for 100 eligible* students in grades 7-12 and their Learning Coaches to participate in a math tutoring pilot this summer—and it’s free!
In July and August, teachers will be providing three free 1-hour online math tutoring
sessions through a new platform called Stride Tutoring. The purpose of the pilot is to test out the platform to learn what works best for tutors, students, and Learning Coaches, so participants will be required to provide feedback on their experience. The sessions can be scheduled at any time during the pilot period.
If you are interested in participating in the pilot, Learning Coaches, parents, or guardians should fill out this form. This pilot is limited and will be first come, first served.
*Students who live in Idaho and Louisiana are not eligible.

You can be part of a national movement to fight childhood cancer—one cup at a time!
Visit the foundation's website for all the details.
How You Can Get Involved:
- Set up a lemonade stand:
- Choose your location, date and time, and register your Alex’s Lemonade Stand. (We encourage children to participate every step of the way, they will just need an adult to help them register.)
- You can even choose to have an event kit mailed to you and you’ll get a personal event coach from Alex’s Lemonade Stand to help answer your questions.
- Be sure to take pictures of your lemonade stand!
- Make, distribute, and wear a gold ribbon, the symbol for childhood cancer awareness
- Create and donate care bags for children with cancer
- What other ideas do you have to help fight childhood cancer?
