Though most of you may be unaware, Homework Zone is the result of a recent push by the provincial government for schools and school boards to reach out and partner with local community organizations. This initiative stems from a belief held in common with Homework Zone: students will persevere and succeed in school when a whole community supports their education.
As part of this initiative, a Montreal organization named Hooked On Schools has reached out to all Montreal schoolboards to provide support for this community partnerships. For their 2012 review, Homework Zone was chosen as one of a handful of projects that Hooked on Schools has supported.
