Attention Parents and Grandparents! Morning Readers Needed!
We still need a few good men and women to read with children in our Morning Readers program. At this time of year, participation seems to drop off, yet we have many students who make very impressive gains in reading if they get that extra 20 minutes of one-on-one reading in the mornings. Please consider donating a half hour to an hour a week to read, on your own schedule, in the class of your choice. If your child's teacher doesn't need any more readers, we will be happy to place you!
For information, or to begin, please contact Karen O'Connor in Room 16, by email.
The rewards are tremendous and your help is invaluable!
