Annual Spelling Bee at the Barack and Michelle Obama Academy
Last month, Emmaus House volunteer tutors, Clinton Deveaux and Ann Fowler, helped judge the annual spelling bee at the Barack and Michelle Obama (BaMO) Academy in Peoplestown. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the BaMO Academy and our work to empower children to make a difference in themselves, their families, and their communities.
For several years Emmaus House and BaMO have partnered to improve educational outcomes for children in the Peoplestown community. Our summer Freedom School is located at BaMO, and a majority of students come from the school. BaMO provides Freedom School with transportation, meals, and teaching and custodial assistance. During the academic year, Emmaus House helps BaMO with the Support for Students tutoring program.
