School Year Volunteers Needed

Several of the Good Neighbors volunteers are volunteering their time as mentors at Moneta Elementary School and Dudley Elementary School. This program was started in the Fall as a collaborative program with the school principals. The feedback from volunteers and the principals has been wonderful.  However, there is an on-going need for more volunteer support at both schools. At Dudley Elementary School, reading support is needed.  Ten students that could benefit from a “Reading Buddy” have been identified. At Moneta Elementary School, enrichment support is needed.  The time commitment at each school is about one hour per week. As SML Good Neighbors’ volunteers, you know first-hand the difference your involvement can make in the lives of these students. Cindy Decker, a member of the SML Good Neighbors’ Board, is facilitating this effort.  If you are interested in expanding your work with children, please contact Cindy at: deck-rs.sml@erols.com  and let her know where you would like to volunteer.  Cindy will then coordinate your participation with the principals. Thank you for your work in service to the children.
