Of the fifty-one K-5th grade students present at the party 41 made all A's and B's on their report cards, and 21 of those students had all A's. The middle school and high school students at the club also continue to excel, but their report cards were not out at the time of the pizza party. 

The staff that tutors the students during the daily "Power Hour" consists of 3 WKU seniors, 2 BCHS seniors, and 2 BCHS juniors.
