Tutors Needed
Do you like to work with preschool children? Are you a good team member? We are looking for several more tutors to work with our youngest English language learners. Guidance is provided. Contact Shirley Wehmeier if you can help.
We have recently had new families join our tutoring program with several young children who have limited English experience. We are looking to have more tutors in order to address the children’s specific needs.
Christmas Party
Our fall tutoring program culminated with an entire group event where students of all ages, tutors, and volunteers from the congregation met to make bird feeders, wreaths, aprons, bird houses, fleece hats and scarves, and Christmas ornaments. Our lunch of sloppy joes, fruit salad, and cookies was made by our middle school boys and elementary school children.
The boys made the sloppy joes from scratch – no canned sauce for them. They also cut up strawberries, bananas, grapes, and oranges for the salad. The elementary school students decorated cookies for dessert. This year, the youngest children made snowmen from empty milk jugs and made ornaments to take home. Led by Ron Marien, men made bird houses and bird feeders. They learned to use both power and hand tools. The women had a variety of options including aprons, and fleece wreaths, hats, and scarves. Enjoy the pictures as they tell the wonderful story of people of different ethnicities, ages, and backgrounds working together and having fun! Thanks to everyone who made this such a fun event!
