A new community partnership program has launched in D38!
The initiative is called "Citizens in Our Schools," and it aims to grow relationships in our community and give residents firsthand experience in our schools. A variety of volunteer opportunities to engage with students and staff are available including activities such as:
Having elementary students read to you to practice fluency
Gardening in our outdoor learning spaces
Helping coordinate a book fair or other special event
Participating as a guest speaker on leadership or other topics
Serving as a helper with Homework Club for English language learners
Participants can seek out volunteer opportunities that match their interests, while experiencing our schools and connecting with students and staff. They will also receive a "Citizens in Our Schools" t-shirt to proudly show their support of D38.
Special perks are also offered to participants age 60 and older, including a "Star Card" that allows for free entry to athletic and performing arts events. Plans include hosting special events like "Senior Soup & Salad," during which participants can engage with students and staff to learn more about D38.
Sign up today for Citizens in Our Schools!
