Jump Start welcomes new volunteers
We had a new student join Jump Start last week and a
volunteer go back to work and therefore unable to continue with her Jump
Start sessions. I would like to thank Ann Marie O'Grady for all her
efforts with Jump Start at Hamagrael Elementary this past year and
welcome Christine Edwards, Jen Spore and Kate Kloss (that's right, the
principal) to our Jump Start Volunteer Team. Thank you so much for your
time and dedication to the program.
Jump Start will end for the school year the week of June 4th. We have just
one more month of Jump Start sessions to go.
Happy Spring,
Diane Schrempf
Jump Start Coordinator
