Building success at Neighbor's House

DeKALB – Jaylee Baird was having some trouble with her grades.

"At first, I was getting Ds and Fs, but now I'm getting As and Bs," the DeKalb teenager said. "Usually I do my homework here, and they help me if I don't understand something."

"Here" is Neighbor's House, 403B Fifth St. in DeKalb. Baird and her 12-year-old brother Randy are among approximately 200 area students who attend the organization's twice-weekly homework help sessions.
