WE PAIR A STRUGGLING READER WITH A WELL-TRAINED, CARING TUTOR WHO HAS THE COMPLETE FLEXIBILITY TO TAILOR INSTRUCTION TO FIT THE LEARNING STYLE OF THEIR STUDENT. OUR TUTORS ARE VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE VETTED AND UNDERGO 13 HOURS OF INITIAL TRAINING PLUS CONTINUOUS SUPPLEMENTAL TRAINING. TUTORS MEET WITH THEIR STUDENTS FOR TWO 90-MINUTE SESSIONS PER WEEK DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. TUTORS WORK ON STRENGTHENING READING, WRITING AND PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF HIGH-QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. OUR PROGRAM IS QUANTIFIABLY EFFECTIVE. NONE OF OUR STUDENTS READ AT GRADE LEVEL WHEN THEY COME TO US. AFTER ONE YEAR IN THE PROGRAM, 30% ARE READING ON GRADE LEVEL. AFTER TWO YEARS, 60% ARE READING AT AT GRADE LEVEL. WE ARE CONTINUOUSLY WORKING TO EXPAND AND IMPROVE OUR PROGRAM. FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS, WE HAVE FIELDED AN ODYSSEY OF THE MIND (OM) TEAM COMPRISED OF WIZARD'S WARDROBE STUDENTS. OM IS AN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION THAT FOSTERS THE DEVELOPMENT OF CREATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS TEAM-BASED CHALLENGES. THE PROGRAM REQUIRES PARTICIPANTS TO WORK AS A TEAM TO CREATE INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO COMPLEX CHALLENGES, PULLING FROM VARIOUS FIELDS, INCLUDING SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, MATHEMATICS, LITERATURE, AND THE ARTS. IN 2024 AND 2025, OUR TEAM HAS ADVANCED TO THE STATE-WIDE COMPETITION. LAST YEAR, WE LAUNCHED A SATURDAY ENRICHMENT PROGRAM AND TOOK STUDENTS ON A FIELDTRIP TO THE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY IN NEW YORK CITY, BROUGHT THEM TO CAPITAL REPERTORY THEATER FOR A STORY-TELLING EVENT, AND BROUGHT IN A LITERACY- BASED MAGIC SHOW. LAST SUMMER, WE AGAIN ORGANIZED A SERIES OF FIELD TRIPS FOR OUR STUDENTS. WE TRAVELED TO THE CONEY ISLAND AQUARIUM, TACKLED THE ROPES COURSE AT WILD PLAY, AND SWAM IN THOMPSON LAKE. 222717 true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 0 0 false 3 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false 7 0 true false false false false true false true true false false true true true true true true false false false NY X DIANE HESTER 5184144978 20 RENSSELAER ST Albany NY 12202 BARBARA ALBERTSPIR PRESIDENT 15.00 X X 0 0 0 ERIC FAGANS VICE PRESIDENT 11.00 X X 0 0 0 Dayle Zatlin TREASURER 12.00 X X 0 0 0 Justine Aloise SECRETARY 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian Coyne DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 TAM KISTLER DIRECTOR 3.00 X 0 0 0 Annette Johnson DIRECTOR 3.00 X 0 0 0 Diane Hester COO 60.00 X 74292 0 0 Carol Green PROGRAM MANAGER 45.00 X 68865 0 0 TONYA TERRY COORDINATOR 2.00 X 1768 0 0 144925 false false false 12500 189489 4043 201989 10670 10670 212659 10670 144546 103291 34055 7200 12715 9028 3051 636 10876 3452 7424 779 779 13685 11018 878 1789 1736 72 796 868 18103 17940 100 63 5477 5477 7155 7155 833 833 3614 3048 3048 UNCATEGORIZED EXP 250 MISC EXP -100 222717 158212 49352 11389 172321 7530 143703 55495 34072 25037 21423 3747 197358 176403 5245 5245 2817 5188 8062 10433 189296 165970 197358 176403 X -10058 -13268 X false false false X 226225 56260 108546 176897 198046 765974 226225 56260 108546 176897 198046 765974 765974 240 446 422 14 1122 767096 0.99850 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 48411 27026 21385 7084 7046 38 21423 PT VI, LN7A At each Annual Meeting of Directors, those Directors whose terms have expired shall be elected to serve three-year terms, to hold office until the third Annual Meeting following their election, or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.
