L-Tron employee participates in the Education Success Network Guest Reader Program
One of our M-Team members, Julianne, volunteered her time and took part in the Education Success Network’s Guest Reader program. This program encourages literacy among young learners, and invites volunteers to visit charter schools and read aloud to kindergarten classes. Julianne took her lunch break on Wednesday, headed down to Hoover drive, and read to a class of kindergarten students. The book she had the pleasure of reading was “The Rooster Who Would Not Be Quiet.” This is the second time Julianne has participated in this program, and is looking forward to reading to students again in March. L-Tron is proud to support their employees in volunteer efforts such as this, and encourages community involvement among their staff members.
About the Guest Reader Program
About the Guest Reader ProgramThe Guest Reader program encourages community members to read to a kindergarten class at the Discovery Charter School. This encourages literacy and fosters a love of reading in young students. The Guest Reader program invites a reader into the classroom the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. The reader is provided the book to read, signs the book, and the book is given to the classroom library for the children to read again on their own.
If you are interested in taking part in the Guest Reader program, feel free to email Dawn Borgeest or visit the Education Success Network sign up page here.
