Helping Schools Get Started, By Grace

Our office plans at least two community projects each year. With school getting underway this summer, we called Mr. Benny Griffiths of Northwood Elementary School and asked if we could help one of the teachers equip and set up their classroom the week before school started.

Sue Peldunas (pictured center), who has a new class at Northwood for children with learning differences, gladly accepted our offer to help. Four members of our staff; Rhonda, Judi, Anita, and Grace spent a day at Northwood helping Sue set up her classroom. They put borders on the black boards and in the hallways, labeled books and arranged
them on shelves and cut out letters and numbers for class room walls.

Our office contributed $400 for purchase of books, dry erase boards, and math flash cards and “play” money. We hope to send some staff members back later in the school year to help Sue or other teachers with reading and math projects.
