Educational Programs

Fresh Look for School

Each August, the House of the Carpenter hosts a non-traditional back to school event open to all students of Madison Elementary, as well as any middle or high school student who lives on Wheeling Island. Each student has the opportunity to get a fresh haircut, a manicure with nail painting, personal hygiene supplies, socks and underwear, as well as the traditional school supplies. Dinner is provided to all families who attend this event.  

After-School Program

The After School Program is a place where students in grades 6th-8th can build friendships, improve their academics, and experience encouragement from caring mentors in a safe environment. We provide homework help and enjoy fun activities twice a week from 3:30-5:15 PM. Please note: There are limited seats for transportation available upon request.

“Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching.”
