With the students now being back in school, you have an opportunity to impact the life of a child. Beginning last winter the Loves Park/815 Rotary Club entered into a partnership with Rock Cut Elementary School to be Reading Buddies for students at the school.  We have again partnered with the school for the 2023-2024 academic year.
 
This is a low impact commitment of your time and can make a significant difference for a first through sixth grade child. Most of these children do not have reading issues, but rather, need  interaction with an adult one-on-one.  I know that my second grade Reading Buddy last year was significantly late for school everyday, expect on Wednesday when I came to be his Reading Buddy.
 
Sessions are scheduled for one half hour between the hours of 8:25 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.  All I am asking for is a half hour commitment one day a week.  If you would like to volunteer for more sessions, that would be great.
 
If you would like to be a Rotary Reader, please reply to this email or call me at 612.723.4085.  You can also sign up at our next meeting.  Once you have indicated your interest, Rock Cut Elementary will need you to complete a background check form.
