Falling Into Place Interview on WAMC

Reading mentors are needed for the Everybody WINS! Power Lunch program at School 14 on Wednesdays. Everybody WINS! is an innovative reading and mentoring program that increases children’s prospects for success in school and in life. Once a week, reading partners enjoy conversation together at the school, and the adult reads a book aloud while the child eats lunch. Reading mentors will be required to wear a mask. Children will not be masked while eating lunch.

A one-hour required training will be held on Tuesday, December 28th from 10:00-11:00 a.m. at the LVORC office in Troy. To register and for more information, call 518 244-4650 or email Judy Smith: litvoldirector@aol.com
