Science
Center Opening Spring 2006
|
|
|
The Wayne Barton Study Center enhances the health,
welfare and education of children in need in our
community. The Study Center is intended to fill those
needs which are not being met through the home or
school.
|
The center is a broad based institution which draws
its support from a community united to support our
youth and offers a safe haven for pre-teens
and teens. The goal is to reduce drug usage, teenage
crime, school dropout rate, and teenage pregnancy. The
center offers daily educational development, food, and sports
activities. Priorities are focused on
improving grade point averages, acquiring
a high school diploma, a college degree, improving
attendance and decreasing suspensions. To
this end, the center emphasizes academic
development, counseling and nutritional needs, study
skills, living skills, citizenship in a multicultural
society and recreational activities.
The
Wayne
Barton Study Center provides
numerous services to the local community
including:
-
Since 1991
nearly 800 children have gone to summer camp in North
Carolina and Maine as a result of hard work in school
and clean living with the help of the Barton program.
-
In the last
nine years Barton’s Boosters have served Thanksgiving
turkeys and food baskets to more than 4000 people per

-
Over 800
kids a year for the last ten years have received
Christmas gifts donated to Barton’s Boosters.
-
Over 300

-
More than 90

Study Center. In addition there are 12 students that
