Come Help A Child Learn To Read! Volunteers Needed

Do you enjoy reading? Do you have some extra time on your hands? Do you get a kick out of working with children? If so, Lakewood City Schools needs you.

Two of the district’s elementary schools are participating in a pilot for Project MORE, a reading mentoring program that aims to boost literacy among students with disabilities and students at risk for reading failure, and they need adult volunteers to make it work. Grant and Hayes elementary schools are looking for adults who can give 30 minutes of their time, two days a week to read with students.

More than 240 districts in the state are currently using Project MORE with great success. The program is affordable for districts while offering the one-on-one support these students need to be successful readers. If you are interested in being a reading mentor, please contact Holly Bucci at Hayes at 529-4228 or Brenda Budzar at Grant at 529-4217.
