Obama School End of Year Assistance
From Nancy Heege, Unity's Obama School Ministry Team
As the end of the school year nears, we can be helpful to the staff team at Obama Elementary School.
On Monday, June 10, a team of Unity volunteers will meet at the school to go through students’ lockers, salvaging what we can, to be donated to the Bolivian schools that Mano a Mano serves. The school also wants to get rid of a lot of old books; volunteers will pick out books that Mano a Mano might want before the books are discarded. Also on Monday, June 10, and perhaps the next day, many of the teachers will be moving to new classrooms and would appreciate some help with the move. If you have some time available and would like to help out, contact Marty Rossmann at rossm001@umn.edu. Marty will send more details closer to the date.
Help is also needed between May 20 and June 7 in the library, where volunteers will be going over every shelf to find books that are out of place and put them in the correct place. To sign up for an hour or a few hours, contact Nancy Heege at nancyheege@cs.com.
And a huge THANK YOU to all who’ve supported the school in so many ways this year — offering breakfast to the teachers in August, tutoring scholars in the classroom or Maker’s Space, bringing snacks for a teachers’ meeting, checking out books and shelving books in the library, assisting with sewing and other special projects, donating to the Obama-designated Sunday Offering last fall, writing a check for a Cub food gift card, decorating the flower pots at the entrance, and so much more. We are truly making a difference in the lives of the students and their families, and every bit is appreciated!
