[BHS etree] VOLUNTEER: "DEAR" Day March 11th Needs Classroom Readers

[bhs at idiom.com]

The Berkeley School Volunteers  need parent and community volunteers
for the morning of March 11th.

Mark Coplan, BUSD Public Information Officer

Can you give just one hour to our public schools this year?
Please join us for
DEAR Day
Drop Everything and Read
in the Berkeley public schools

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008   9:30 am

Why we do it: This event allows our community members to become
involved with our schools and directly advocate the merits of reading
to the youngest members of our city. 

How it works: Members of the community sign up to be a DEAR reader and
are assigned to a classroom in an elementary or pre-school.  The
readers all go to their assigned classrooms on the same day and time,
arriving by 9:10 am. Each reader brings a book of their choice and
reads for twenty minutes after which the children go back to their
normal school day schedule. If you need help selecting a book, the
Berkeley Public Libraries and site libraries (elementary schools only)
are prepared to provide assistance.

How to sign up: If you'd like to be a reader, please return to
attached portion to Berkeley School Volunteers no later than March 4,
2008. Your assignment will arrive in early March, but please save the
date now; once you've returned the form we are counting on you unless
you inform us otherwise. If you have any questions, please don't
hesitate to call us.

Thanks!        Berkeley School Volunteers    Phone: 644-883
