TNT Ends Year with a BANG!

Tennis-n-Tutoring ended for the year on Friday, June 1st. Students had the opportunity to celebrate by attending the Sponsor-A-Champion BBQ, and participating in the talent show, fashion show, and the Staff vs. Students Basketball game, which students won. Staff members are

already requesting a rematch.

It’s been a great year for TnT. With 200 students, it was our largest TnT class in our history. As ever, we are looking forward to next school year!

Camp Dynamite is almost here!

Only seven days left until Camp Dynamite is underway. Camp will begin Monday, June 11^th and last five weeks. We will host 150 youth,

a mixture of current TnT students and neighborhood youth.

Students will have the opportunity to participate in daily arts and crafts, tennis classes and go swimming. Camp will also include field trips to the Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens, the Hands On Children’s Museum and service project trips to the Sulzbacher Center, Second Harvest and the City Rescue Mission. In addition, we will offer enrichment activities in literacy, math,

science and nutrition.
