Dear Old Guard:
Thank you for coming to the Summer Reading Buddies Program and reading with the children. As you may know, Summer learning opportunities for elementary-aged children strongly impact long-term academic success of students. Therefore, we greatly appreciate your support as we seek to provide such opportunities to the children of Yonkers and Ossining.
"Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart. " Elizabeth Andrew."
Thank you for having the heart to come and help the children keep up their literacy skills over the summer months!
Warm regards,
Janice
