Stokes schools given money for program

Three elementary schools in Stokes County will share a $120,000 grant this year to provide free after-school programming for students who struggle with learning.
The program at London, Pine Hall and Sandy Ridge elementary schools will involve after-school tutoring and mentoring, as well as a new staff at each school who will look for ways to connect parents to classrooms.
The program will be a first in Stokes County. While some programs are offered after school through the YMCA, there has always been a fee, which has deterred students and parents who would most likely benefit.
