Music Means More -- Opportunity

 
Hello everyone!
 
As you have been hearing, our club's "music committee" has been working hard to get the Music Means More project in motion--and we're succeeding!  Students and their families are using music education for lots of things in the classroom and for the big moment---providing them reading tutors!
For the months of April and May between 9:30 and 11 AM, our 4 kindergarten teachers would like to have up to 3 tutors in their classrooms.  Because of their schedule, I will list the dates here:
 
April: 5,6,7,8,12,13,14,15,18,20,21,22,25,26,27,28,29
 
May: 3,4,5,6,10,11,12,13,16,17,18,20
 
The last 2 weeks of school are filled with a variety special events; therefore, volunteers will not be needed past Friday, May 20th.
 
Some activities the volunteers can expect, include:
  • Reviewing sight words
  • Reading books 
  • Literacy games or activities 

Here is the link with the information about background authorization for volunteers, it will take you to the Parent & Student Resources Tab on the Stillwater Area Schools district website.

Please contact me if you would like to give some time--whether alot or a little--to this effort.  After all, closing the literacy gap is the whole point and the sooner the better!

 
Thanks.  And feel free to call with any questions.
