For three weeks in July, a Title 1 elementary school that we serve offered a \u201cBridge to Kindergarten\u201d program for incoming students, many of whom had not attended preschool and needed additional help to prepare for starting school.\u00a0\u00a0Fourteen of our volunteers worked one-on-one with the 46 students to help them learn their letters, with the target of every child being able to write their name.\u00a0\u00a0We were happy to see the progress that students made with each session.\u00a0\u00a0At the end of the program, each student received a gift bag from Assistance League with a beanie baby, a Scholastic little reader that they could color, a pack of crayons, and some stickers.\u00a0\u00a0We received a nice Thank-You note from the teachers, with the students\u2019 thumbprints at the bottom.<\/p>\n
