| Reading Partners - Volunteers in the Schools The local Reading Partners program is part of the nationwide National Jewish Coalition for Literacy. Our program of 100 volunteers working in the Danbury schools serves over 350 students. Bernice Ullmann is a Newtown resident who collects stuffed animals and gives them to the Reading Partners to share with their students. What we have are dedicated volunteers who are committed to our literacy work which is integrated into the school curriculum with the appreciative support of school administrators and staff.
The program, entering our fifteenth year, is run by volunteers in Danbury and thirteen surrounding towns. We are always looking for volunteers to join us as the schools have many students waiting for help. If you have at least one hour a week to make a difference in a child's life, we welcome you! For more information and to register for Fall 2015, contact Jackie Morrison, 203-743-6161 or [email protected]
