(Hour 3b, c)
(Hour 3b) Lifelong Manchester resident Matt Courchesne joined us to discuss “Helping Our Pupils Excel,” a mentoring program for at risk kids.
HOPE New Hampshire is getting part of the credit for helping Southside Middle School get off of the Priority Schools list. That’s a REALLY big deal.
Courchesne described the program and the seventh-grade students they work with.
