(313) 827-3006\u00a0MustonD@dearbornschools.org<\/a>Volunteers needed for Salina Elementary reading eventSalina Elementary and the Communities in
School program are looking for volunteers \u2013 hundreds of them \u2013 to read to
Salina Elementary students on March 4.Volunteers will be paired with students
to read one-on-one with them that morning as part of the Leaders and Literacy
Day. The volunteers are needed from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. All readers will be
supervised by school staff while they are with students.Communities in Schools approached
Principal Susan Stanley with the idea for the literacy day.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a great idea because we want to get
more and more people to read with kids,\u201d Stanley said.\u00a0 Any adult can sit and read with a child and
help that child improve their skills and develop a love of reading, she said.Volunteers \u201ccan help students make the
connection between literacy and the pathway to leadership,\u201d says a recruitment
poster from Communities in Schools. CIS was hoping to get as many as 350 volunteer
readers for the one-time event. Leaders and Literacy Day also will include a
brief training, snacks and refreshments for the volunteers. Each student will
walk away with their own copy of \u201cYasmin the Superhero\u201d by Saadia Faruqi.Volunteers are encouraged to register at
an\u00a0Eventbrite
registration<\/a>\u00a0set up for the event.\u00a0
Those with questions can contact CIS Site Cooridinator Amal Qayed at\u00a0amal@cismichigan.org<\/a>\u00a0or (517) 489-4592 for
details.Traditionally, elementary schools across
the country celebrate March is Reading Month, and many Dearborn elementary
schools will invite in guest readers during March, but not at the scale Salina Elementary
is organizing.Communities in Schools works in several
Dearborn Public Schools, providing programing and support to help low-income
families overcome obstacles that can hinder their child\u2019s success in school.Besides encouraging reading, Leaders and
Literacy Day is also a way to build connections between Salina Elementary and
the community, Stanley said.\u201cThis is a perfect opportunity to bring
the community into the school,\u201d she said.###<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
