Our Programs
T.I.P.S
TIPS is another real way that we come alongside parents and guardians to help them be more successful in helping their child or children succeed in school. This is the second side of the needed, effective, growing and highly successful Help Me Read Program.
Help Me Read
Through Celebration of Life Community, Inc., the Help Me Read program staff give students the one-on-one attention they need to maximize in the academic process. We also come alongside parents, teachers, administrators and the community to help our children get the best that can be offered or given in the early academic and formative years of their lives. It is during these early years that the foundation is created whereon the continual building will be placed.
