CAN YOU HELP? School has begun in the PV Unified
School District and Campo Bello
Elementary
School could use
your help! Many
opportunities are
available to assist
students and
teachers.
In many homes in the Campo Bello area,
English is not the primary language.
Young students hear and learn English
from their teachers and volunteers who
provide assistance in their classrooms,
especially in grades k-2. As a volunteer,
you will: help students reinforce newly-
acquired skills; be extra hands to assist
teachers in implementing learning
activities; help students make up work
after an absence; and provide a student
with one-on-one help. You’ll love to see
the smiles on kids’ faces when you walk
through the classroom door! Please
consider this important opportunity and
contact Sharon Wayne at
[email protected] for more information.
