The OASIS Intergenerational Tutoring Program has been operating at St. Ann Catholic School  for 7 years. This program pairs volunteers from the parish age 50 and older with St. Ann students in grades K-4. Oasis tutors come to St. Ann once a week to work one-on-one with the students.  They use a curriculum designed to build reading and language skills. Each tutor completes a comprehensive 2-day training.  They also attend the Protecting God’s Children workshop. 

We currently have 8 Oasis volunteers working at St. Ann School:

• Ann Beckring
• Jan Henricks
• Karen Uhlenbrock
• Velga Lacey
• Carol Giblin
• Harry Beckenholdt
• Bernie Berns
• Alix Kirtland

The St. Ann students look forward to their weekly visit with the Oasis tutors!  The volunteers love coming to St. Ann and being a part of our school family.  Oasis is truly a win-win situation for everyone!
