Hope Academy:
There is Still Time to Enroll!
Hope Academy was recently featured on Birmingham's Fox 6 evening and morning news.
Here's the report from the evening news.
TV spot
Although Hope Academy classes began for the 2010-2011 academic year August 11, applications for admission are still being accepted. The Home's SACS accredited on-campus school, Hope Academy, has expanded to include acceptance of 1st and 2nd grade students. Hope Academy hosted a growing number of private day students in the 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 academic years and looks forward to greeting even more this year. With a low teacher to student ratio and individualized instruction plans, Hope Academy provides personalized education to all students. Through these unique methods of instruction, even students who have fallen behind in the past are able to proceed forward toward achieving their full academic potential.

Calling All
Volunteers!
The Presbyterian Home for Children is looking for MVPs! The "most valuable players" on our team are participants in our newly developed Mentor/Volunteer Program. Mentors are persons who have gifts of some sort, such as expertise in wood-working, quilting, sewing, or gardening and landscaping and are willing to share their knowledge one on one with a child or small group of children to help them acquire life skills that can be useful once they leave the Home.
If you aren't comfortable with the concept of mentoring, don't let that stop you - we need task-oriented volunteers as well! Maintaining a large campus with 20 buildings and a dozen vehicles takes a lot of man/woman power! So if you are a retired painter, auto mechanic, carpenter or just simply love to operate a tractor - we certainly have a place for you! Call 256.362.2114 to inquire about becoming a MVP today!
