Student Council recently elected at Cascade Elementary for the new year are: Back row, left to right: Natalie Tucker, Adler Dillman, Brooke Peterson, and David Kallas, Front row: Brett Dowdle, Natalie Hill, Jenny Johnson, and Chris Hale. The Council is responsible for planning assemblies, service projects and student volunteer programs, cleaning up, tutoring, wall monitoring, and assisting teachers. Volunteers needed as an English as a Second Language program begins The English as a Second Language Lan-guage (ESL) program at Provo Adult Education currently needs volunteers, said Guy Berryessa, volunteer coordinator. Volunteers are needed to help teach non-English speakers at Provo High School and other locations loca-tions throughout Utah County. The students are mostly Hispanic and Asian. Volunteers do not need to speak a second language, but it can be helpful, said Berryessa. In most cases, the volunteers serve as a teacher's aide in small classes of eight to 10 students. Volunteers are asked to commit com-mit two hours each week. Volunteers Volun-teers are also asked to stay with the project for several months. Volunteers are given a brief orientations as well as on-the-job training from the teacher, said Berryessa. The ESL program also needs volunteers to work one-on-one with individual students and their families through the in-home in-home tutoring program. Volunteers Volun-teers are matched with an individual in-dividual who is unable to attend classes or who needs additional help at home. In-home volunteers are asked Now is time for Boy Scouts to read Boys' Life Summer is not only a good time for Boy Scouts to go camping, camp-ing, it is also a good time to read Boys' Life, a magazine known to generations of Scouts and almost as old as Boy Scouting itself. Paul Anderson, Council Commissioner for the Utah National Parks Council, encourages parents to take advantage of the leisure time of summer to have their Scouts read Boys' Life. Anderson says the magazine is designed to help youth improve their reading skills and enhance their Scouting experience. We know from studies that boys advance ad-vance further in Scout rank and stay in Scouting longer if they have access to this unique magazine.

The cost of day care was prohibitive. Her 7th grader was too old for a sitter himself, but still awfully young to be in charge of two elementary-aged siblings si-blings for eight to ten hours each day. Her children were very independent inde-pendent and her greatest fear was not that they would be in danger or get into some mischief. It was that they would waste the summer sitting in front of the television, their young developingbrains ever so slowly turning turn-ing into zucchini. She was used to battling her darling children over their insistence to exercise their inalienable in-alienable right to vegetate. But she had the toughness that grows out of being alone and being forced to cope and being in love with children that you alternately want to pet and then paddle. She called a family council and announced the summer plans. Kid No. 1 was in charge. He had a daily to work with the student at least once a week, preferably twice, at a time most convenient for the student and tutor. Currently volunteers are especially needed to work mornings morn-ings with a class at the Utah County Jail and in-home with Vietnamese and Laotian students. stu-dents.

Other community volunteer opportunities op-portunities include: The Easter Seals Family Friends program needs volunteers volun-teers to help implement various physical activities on Saturdays. Groups of 15 or less are welcome. The Utah State Mental Hospital Hospi-tal needs volunteers that know Sign Language to help interpret for the staff.

He attributes this to the unique way boys are registered in the Utah National Parks Council, a council predominately sponsored spon-sored by the LDS Church. Anderson Ander-son is concerned that parents may not realize they must take the initiative to provide a subscription sub-scription for their son(s). Boys' Life, he said, gives boys stories of adventure, sports and the country he lives in and can help a boy see the broad scope of Scouting. Scout-ing. More recently, the magazine has carried illustrated adaptations adapta-tions of stories from classic literature litera-ture to help improve reader literacy.

(Kids No. 2 and 3 did not know that he got a small bonus if they were done, and there was no complaint about him bullying from them.) Lunch each day was a bike ride to the park. Or a few dollars for a fast food place. Or on the front lawn after running through the sprinklers. She searched the paper for promising events that were accessible by bike or bus. For a few weeks they took swimming lessons. There were art classes through community education. They'd take a trip to the library where they could each bring home a book and a video tape once a week. Yes, she felt guilty that her main daily contact with them consisted of a phone call, but I can't help feeling that her situation forced her into planning how herchildren spent their summer. Planning more carefully, perhaps, than many of us who arc home with our kids and take all those long, lazy days for granted. E mm |
