Project Description: This AmeriCorpsêNCCC team came to Claymont Elementary with tons of energy and numerous ideas for our first project.  We worked a variety of classrooms and also mentored many of the students individually.  We worked closely with the teachers in addressing the students with the greatest academic need, and began to meet that need during our seven weeks at Claymont.  Our focus will be primarily at the 5^th grade level as the students prepare for the Delaware State Testing Program (DSTP).   

Our team mentored over 50 students consistently during lunch periods along with actively participating with teachers in the classroom.  Although our initial focus was to prepare the students for their upcoming DSTP, it was the goal of our team to contribute to the overall academic success of Claymont as a whole.  Our team also worked to improve the overall quality of life at Claymont by working on multiple beautification projects throughout the seven weeks.
