Wake Up Tri-Counties Etta LaFlora Talks Stepladder Tutoring Program and Donation Options

Etta LaFlora, director of the Sunshine Community Services Center in Kewanee, joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to share the latest updates on the stepladder tutoring program. The Sunshine Community Services Center in Kewanee continues its efforts to support local students through its Stepladder Tutoring Program, even after canceling traditional Easter tag days. Community members can help fund after-school and summer tutoring for middle schoolers online at sunshinecsc.com, through round-up donations at Save-A-Lot, or by mailing support to P.O. Box 405, Kewanee. The program, now in its 14th year, offers free academic help in math, reading, and homework completion, aiming to boost students' confidence before high school. Organizers stress that every donation helps keep these essential services accessible for area families. Due to the cancellation of Easter weekend tag days, the Sunshine Community Services Center is encouraging the community to support their Stepladder tutoring program through online and in-store donations. Contributions can be made on their website, www.sunshinecsc.com, via PayPal or credit card, or mailed to their Kewanee P.O. Box 405. Save-A-Lot in Kewanee is also running a roundup campaign with no end date set. The center, dedicated to helping middle school students catch up academically, especially in math and reading, continues to offer free after-school and summer tutoring, funded entirely through community support and fundraising.
