Just a friendly reminder that the next Traffic Safety Committee Meeting will be held Monday March 01 , 2010 from 6:45pm to 7:45pm at the Neighborhood House’s Paul Allen Room (4410 29th Avenue South - first floor). Please note time has been changed. Agenda includes:
Following up on the call for volunteers earlier this month. The Neighborhood House has added new classes to their Tech Center offerings, and they are in need of volunteers. Tuesday: 5-6:30 ESL Level 1 Class Volunteering during the ESL classes would be very similar to volunteering during any of our classes except the volunteer would be working with Tech Center Staff as well as a Seattle Literacy Tutor. There are also some open lab times available as volunteer opportunities. Come out and help make our neighborhood look good. Mingle with your neighbors, too. This is a great way for students to earn their community service hours. And Free Coffee and Donuts! Saturday 03/6/2010
Are you a retired teacher? Are you currently pursuing a degree in education and would like to increase your teaching experience in a culturally diverse setting? Are you a previous camp counselor or someone who has worked with elementary-school students and knows how to effectively work with them? An hour a week could do wonders for our local students and their academic success. Neighborhood House has an immediate need for reliable, patient volunteer after-school tutors at Aki Kurose Middle School (3928 South Graham Street). You’ll be working with middle-school students helping them finish their homework as well as improve their academic skills. Orientation and training will be provided. We’re looking for people who are available from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. once a week for at least three months. If you (or anyone you know) are interested in becoming an after-school tutor, please e-mail RominaR@nhwa.org for more information on how to get started as an after-school tutor.
Save the date for a Neighborhood Survey and Garden Design Meeting and Dinner. March 3, 2010 Bring the family and have a say in the design, use and programs of the new Urban Farm going in at the north end of New Rainier Vista. Plans currently include giving gardens, seed saving, and a youth garden. What else would help you benefit most from our farm?
