Athletics and Academic Excellence Partner for Special Summer Camp Experience A one-week summer soccer and educational camp for girls in Grades 6-10 will be held in Mount Laurel in August.

Then, in the afternoons, campers will take part in academic challenges designed by the Educational Information and Resource Center, Lockheed Martin, NASA and NOAA. Here's more information. Wanted: Volunteers to Mentor Students in T.I.M.E. Program Many people are not aware that there are hundreds of volunteers helping in our schools each day. Since 1990, some of the most valuable direct assistance has come from Project T.I.M.E. (Teach, Inspire, Mentor, Empower) volunteers. The program begun by Reverend Terrell Person matches adults with students for one hour of special time each week. Right now, many students are awaiting mentors in our schools, and your help is needed. If you have an hour a week to spare by having lunch and chatting, reading together, shooting some hoops or just listening, we need you! View the Time Mentor Program Video.
