From Stories to Service: Community Readers Needed! Oct. 23-24

Lindbergh elementary schools will kick off “From Stories to Service” Oct. 23-24. We invite all members of the Lindbergh community to visit our elementary classrooms and serve as Community Readers by reading aloud one of our “From Stories to Service” picture books. Volunteers are welcome to sign up for more than one date and time!

Note: If you are a community leader, please include your title/organization in the “Comments” field when you sign up to read. Thank you!
After our Community Readers visit, it’s time for service! Classes will be encouraged to select their favorite book and use it as inspiration for a service learning project, encouraging students to use their talents and creativity to help make the world a better place.
