Li i j | | | { i t 10 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, June 9, 1993 wn SCHOOL Lake-Noxen volunteer program ends busy year By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff The students and teachers at Lake-Noxen Elementary School have seen nearly 100 VIP's this year. Part of a pilot program in the district, Volunteers in Partner- “ship consisted of some very im- portant people: parents and grandparents assisting with the preschool program, in the art room and with non-teaching duties; Peer Helpers from the high school who served as role models, work- ing with children on a one-to-one basis; junior high school students who stayed after school to set up Lake-Noxen's art show and other special projects, and friends from the community, who shared travel slides, special collections and their experiences in banking, econom- ics, ethnic customs, the environ- ment, newspaper reporting and other areas related to regular classroom lessons. Other visitors discussed the deaf community and its use of special telephone equipment and American Sign Language, the work of Geisinger’s Life Flight Trauma Team, dental health and hygeine and traditional Native American legends. “The visits from our commu- nity resource persons were valu- able learning experiences for the students,” said principal Robert Kunkle. “Learning how their math skills apply to banking and economics, actually meeting Foreign Ex- change students from the coun- tries that they have read about in social studies classes and having role models, the ‘big kids’ {rom the high school discuss peer pres- sure and living drug and alcohol- free lives has really broadened their horizons.” VIP coordinator Joyce Birt said that as of May 1, the prgram’s 92 volunteers have logged more than 350 volunteer hours. The program is expected to continue next year.
