Parent & Family Engagement Center
August 21-25, 2023
Story Time!
We are the Parent and Family Engagement Center liaisons. Seated from left to right, we are Dawn Mendenhall (Windsor Hill Arts Infused Elementary School), Elise Boehler (Knightsville Elementary School), Kari Kocian (Spann Elementary School). Standing from left to right, we are Ellen Townsend (Joseph Pye Elementary School), Lori Hamilton (Eagle Nest Elementary School).
Collectively we have 50 years of preschool instruction experience. We have been in Dorchester School District Two as parents, volunteers, substitute teachers, adult support, and teaching assistants.
We bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to YOUR family's Story Time experience.
Literacy and preschool learning is our passion. During the Story Time hour we will give you and your children a taste of the classroom experience. This experience will help prepare your children for school. Story Time is provided to Dorchester School District Two families through Title One. There is no cost to you to participate in Story Time or to check out the resources from the parenting centers.
Please join us for Story Time this year. If you have children between the ages of birth to five years old, you are welcome to join us!
Below is the Story Time schedule. You can attend Story Time at any parenting center as often as you would like.
We are looking forward to reading with you!
Yours in Learning,
Lori Hamilton
