How would you like a place where you get tutoring for an hour then go play with your friends for another hour and a half? Well here in our own school there is a place and it’s called the Elton Brand Academy. The best part about this place is that it’s free. It is sponsored by a grant from New York State office of children and family and a generous donation from Elton Brand. You also get a snack while you work on your homework. It’s in the cafeteria everyday from 3 to 4, then you go to your activities.
