EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO WELCOME A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT VOLUNTEER INTO CLASSROOMS:
Marti White, of Oxford Academy,  has visited Daisy with a student from Oxford who is very interested in working with our students while using his Spanish, which is a second language for him.  He is most interested in working with EL students whose native language is Spanish or assisting in our Spanish classes.  He is available to come to Daisy at the following times and would be supervised by Marti White:

• Tuesdays from 10:30-12 Noon

• Fridays from 9:05 to 10:00 am

Please let me know if any staff members would like to give Oxford student Bailin Pollard an opportunity to work with our students.

Thanks and let's make it a great week!
