“Middle school is a crucial transitional time during which students must hone the skills that will take them successfully through high school and beyond.  The students who participate in this program are at risk of falling through the cracks,” said   Assemblywoman Amy Paulin.  “I am pleased to be able to support this important program and do what we can to get them on a path to achievement.”

“I’m very, very pleased and appreciative of the effort Assemblywoman Paulin has made to help us maintain this program.  It helps to focus the youngsters and encourage and assist them in formulating good study and research habits,” said Charles Booth, Director of the Slater Center.
