Be a Guest Reader...have fun, and receive a Rotary Make-up! Club members have been reading to children at Washington and Burrowes Elementary Schools in the School District of Lancaster since November. "It's a wonderful experience and the children love having someone different come to read to them," says Arelis Perez, community schools coordinator at Washington Elementary School. "Many of the children in these classrooms have no one at home to read to them in English, so it is key for them to have this opportunity."
From Rotarian, Kevin Allen..."Reading to Ms. Plaza’s kindergarten class is the highlight of my work week. The kids are excited to have a guest reader and are very attentive while I’m reading. They really seem to enjoy discussing the story afterward and I love to get their take on the story. The reading program really is as much fun for me as it is for the children!"
The program is being held in three classrooms this year at the two elementary schools. Readers are needed at Burrowes Elementary in Ms. Stutz' kindergarten class from 12:30-1:15 p.m. on the following dates: Feb. 26, March 4, April 4, 8, 22 and 29, and May 6, 13 and 27. Please email Bonnie Jess Lopane at bjesslopane@hospicecommunity.org if you can help with any of these dates. Remember, it counts as a Rotary makeup!
