Well, folks, Freedom School is almost here!

THANK YOU so much to those of you who have already signed up to help. I wanted to let you know that there are still a few slots left to fill, namely guest readers for the Harambee (morning gathering) time that begins right after breakfast (8:30-9:00, although if you'd like to be there at 8, the scholars will be coming in then):

- Monday, 6/30
- Thursday, 7/3
- Tuesday, 7/15
- Wednesday, 7/16
- Thursday, 7/17
- Friday, 7/18
- Wednesday, 7/23
- Thursday, 7/24
- Monday, 7/28
- Tuesday, 7/29

One side note is that you can only be a Harambee reader once, so choose your date carefully :).

Just a couple reminders:
- Upon arrival: an intern from Freedom School will be there to greet you when you arrive and will show you where to go. Make sure you sign in to record  your hours for the matching grant!
- You can only sign up for one Harambee reader position, but feel free to come be a D.E.A.R. buddy reader as often as you'd like! While this buddy reading is only 15-20 minutes each day, it is a great opportunity to develop a relationship with one of the scholars. Also, feel free to stay to enjoy lunch with them! Bring your own or simply enjoy the extra time to chat while the scholars eat.
- Please sign and bring this Child Protection Policy document: http://freedomschoolpartners.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/CPP-Application-2014.pdf

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks so much for all your support--our families are VERY excited for this program to start!!!
