Community Education
On Wednesday March 7th we heard from our local School District 656 on the Community School Program. We heard from Charles Cooper Community School Coordinator. This program currently takes place at Jefferson Elementary and Faribault Middle School but is intended for all families in the community. The premise for these after school activities are Academic focus, Health initiatives, youth initiatives, and community engagement. The chief goal is higher attendance during the day, and physical, emotional and social benefits for the kids.
According to Charles this type of programming can benefit all families in Faribault, and he is working to get more kids and families to participate. If you have an idea for any programming please contact him at 507-333-6384.
The Community School program is providing a meal for anyone under 18 FREE of charge Monday through Thursdays at Jefferson and FMS from 4:30 to 5:30. If you would like to join in the cost for a meal is minimal if you are over 18.
This program is currently funded by a grant. If you have more questions see fellow Rotarians Anne Marie Leland, or Todd Sesker.
