You may know the game as Cornhole or Bag-O and have seen it played in stadium parking lots before a football game or at a neighborhood BBQ.  It is huge in many parts of the country and has become very popular in the Black Rock section of Bridgeport where Burroughs is located.

  What piece of learning as a child did you get stuck on?

Learning to read? All the science mumbo-jumbo?

What would you have done if the adults around you couldn't help you out? There is no good answer to that is there?

That's why Burroughs has a Tutoring Program for our kids. So many of them want to learn, to understand and to succeed, but they need one-on-one help.
