MASTERS Program

Young children throughout America need help with reading. The MASTERS program at Lowther North does just that. The program, Mentors and Students Together Embracing Reading, encourages members of the community to give a half hour of their time to a sixth grade student. Pi Omega Pi members are actively involved in this program. "It feels great giving up a little of my day to a kid who needs some help," said one Pi Omega Pi member.  Each session involves reading a book of the child's choice and looking up words that they do know or understand. It is that simple, and the children are incredibly grateful.
