There was fraction action happening Tuesday at Kiski Area Upper Elementary School.
Fifth-grader Kolton McKain met with Kiski Area High School 10th-grader Kayla Mull after school for one-on-one math tutoring part of a new After School Mentorship tutoring program.
“I couldn’t imagine trying to learn fifth-grade math online it’s a critical time for learning,” Kayla said.
Kayla is one of about 13 Key Club students from Kiski Area High School offering weekly peer tutoring for about an hour to fifth- and sixth-grade students seeking additional help in core subjects such as math, social studies, English and language arts.
The collaboration was driven by covid-19 conditions, said Upper Elementary Principal Brian Swartzlander.
