Fall Into Reading with My Own Book

Start: Oct 29 2008 - 8:50am

Timezone: Etc/GMT-7

We hosted a Family Reading Night at Bransford Elementary, thanks to a generous grant from Target. We read aloud to the children . Next, teachers worked with the parents, giving tips on how to read aloud. Each child got to pick a book of their very own, and we added a bookplate with their name on it. In addition, we hosted a raffle for the kids with different stuffed book characters (Oscar the Dog, for instance) and their matching books. The children had a great time and including the families was a good way to interact with more of the community.

Volunteering

Today’s youth have the stereotype of being a non caring, self obsessed breed. The truth is that although there may be many who are like this there are a growing number of young people out there who do great things for other people through volunteering. The number of young people giving up their time on a regular basis to volunteer is growing and I for one hope continues to grow in the future.

Help Your Community!
September 12, 2007

Day of Caring is a fantastic opportunity to work hard, get your hands dirty, and witness firsthand the great things non-profit agencies in the Greater Nashua area are doing! Day of Caring takes place each September. For one day, volunteers from companies in the Greater Nashua and Souhegan Valley area take the day off from work to volunteer at area non-profit organizations.
