THIS IS OUR YEAR!
Join Us on Our Journey to the Extraordinary:
Seven Ways You Can Help
When I arrived
in October of last
year, the first
question I was
asked by many
people was, “What
can I do to help?”
After being here almost a year, I have a few suggestions.
Literacy is our focus! Encourage every child to read 15 minutes
1 per day. Everyone can help by simply talking with children about
reading. Fifteen minutes a day will increase their vocabulary
tremendously. Better yet...take the time to read with a child fifteen
minutes a day!
2 Provide books, newspapers, and magazines in lobbies and
waiting rooms. If you need suggestions, we will be happy to
assist.

100 Homework Centers - Challenge to the community! Provide
WiFi for students at businesses, churches, and public areas.
Students need access to the Internet, especially in rural areas.
Provide homework centers and after school programs. Our students
need adults that are genuinely interested in their work and willing to
engage in a conversation about their projects. Become a “Hot Spot”
host and provide WiFi, supervision and snacks for our students after
school! http://www.rowanhotspot.com.
4 Donate to our Rowan-Salisbury Education Foundation. Over the
next couple of months, I hope to begin an education foundation
with a mission of providing professional development for our
staff. We need opportunities to hear experts share best practices.
5 Offer encouragement. Positive notes, kind words, and
conversations about how we can work together will make a
tremendous impact! Our work is challenging, so help us with
win-win solutions.
6 Help us keep our facilities clean and attractive. We need more
collaborative spaces for students. If you have an interest or
talent in gardening, carpentry, or decorating, we need your help.
Help us keep our students safe. Be aware and cautious around
7 school buses. Show your identification when on school grounds.
Totally cool, y fun!
