Students Helping The Special Education Class at SJHS

Peer Tutors at Springville Junior High School are really getting into helping others. According to Claire Davis, eighth-grade peer tutor, peer tutors get to help other students with spelling, writing and understanding the questions students are asked. Peer tutors also help the students in their homeroom with new words and writing in their journals. Claire also said, “Its fun to help the kids. We get to do a lot of fun stuff, and the students we get to help are so sweet and usually so bright and happy!” 

Peer Tutors are the helpers you see around school. They are the eighth and ninth graders who help students in the special education class with their day to day lives at SJHS. According to Mrs. Amanda Hunsaker, special education teacher, she really began  to enjoy working with the special education students when she had a job one summer with disabled children. Mrs. Hunsaker said, “I have always wanted to teach, and teaching the special education students was just the job for me!” 

Eleah Coral, eighth grade student here at SJHS, said, “I think its great that we have peer tutors at our school. They really encourage students to do better no matter what their challenge.” According to Dylan Park, another eighth grade peer tutor, it is fun to help the “students get better at everything they do!”
