Volunteers Needed to Deliver Books to 5th Graders at Jones Elementary School

With the support of member donations, the Elementary School Project committee has purchased a book for every “graduating” 5th grader at Jones Elementary School. We are planning to deliver the books to all 5th grade classes on Monday, May 20, at 8:15am, and could use the help of a few volunteers!

In addition to handing out the books, this is a chance to talk to the kids about what the Greensboro Bar Association is, what lawyers do, and how proud we are of their upcoming graduation. It should take less than an hour. As anyone who’s volunteered to do this in the past will tell you, the excitement on each child’s face as we hand them a new book is rewarding beyond measure.

Last fall, we also provided children in grades K-5 in the Traditional English program at Jones with the opportunity to purchase a book of their choice at the school’s Book Fair, which gave an additional financial benefit to the school library. We also raised enough funds to make a sizable donation to the school to support student field trips! Thank you for your continued support of the Elementary School Project!

If you would like to volunteer to hand out the 5th grade graduation gift books on Monday, May 20, at 8:15am at Jones Elementary, please email Erin Reis at erin.reis.1@gmail.com, or Ashley Canupp at AshleyCanupp@thefreshmarket.net.
