As you may know, our club is sponsoring Garfield Elementary 5th-6th graders this year for their Everyday Leadership program, which the YMCA is spearheading. This is a program for kids to develop their leadership skills which they then will carry throughout life.
There's an opportunity for us to attend a brainstorming session for their volunteer project Nov. 27th, 3:15-5 PM at Garfield Elementary (1914 S. Broadway Ave., Boise, ID 83706). Here's what the teacher liaison, Brooke, mentioned:
You are welcome to come to our next session on November 27th and join the discussion. Today we asked the students to start thinking about what volunteer activity they would like to plan. Last year we did a bake sale and donated the money to the homeless shelter. The previous year we collected socks and put together bags for the homeless with the socks, snacks, and toiletries. We are hoping during our next session that students come with ideas and we pick one and start to put a plan together. Your guidance and support would be very encouraging.
If you're interested in attending, please let me know prior to Nov. 27th. We will meet at Garfield at 3 PM, front office near the main entrance on Boise Ave.
