Project Tzedek reached a momentous milestone this last week!!
Six of us attended an orientation at Brookwood Elementary School in Bristol Township and met some of the Kindergarten classes we will be supporting with classroom help. Many thanks to Karen Rosenfeld and Jessica Festa (from Brookwood) who helped make this happen. In attendance were Joan Hersch, Sheri Gross, Susan Rosenstein, Jeff Liss, and Paul & Beth Notwick (friends of Jeff & Susan).
We learned about the challenges the school and the teachers have as a result of a number of factors including budget limitations and residual impacts from the pandemic on the readiness of the children.
There will be many opportunities for volunteering - in the classroom during the day as well as other activities we can support for those of us unable to participate during the school day. More details on these will follow shortly.
As a REMINDER: You need to complete some background checks if you intend to volunteer in the school - please REPLY if you need information on how to do this.
We expect this to be a long and fruitful relationship with Brookwood Elementary - helping to make a lasting impact on the children.
Please email Jeff at jeffliss@gmail.com or REPLY to this email for more information on how you can be involved! Together, we can do great things.
Thanks,
Project Tzedek
