I was a leader for that organization from elementary through high school. During that time, my daughter Shelley joined her friends in Girl Scouts. I am a strong advocate for child care. The Boys and Girls Club of Buena Park offers before and after school child care and much more. They offer an opportunity for children of all ages to learn skills they may not learn at home.
Children also learn socialization skills.
In an effort to raise money to provide these wonderful opportunities for children, I have participated in the annual dinner and auctions sponsored by the Buena Park Boys and Girls Club for several years. I have also encouraged our local CSEA Chapter to make donations. To bring this in to perspective for me, I read at different school classrooms on their special reading days. I generally dressed up or made something special for the students in the class in which I read. I would love to see each school site, including the Junior High, invite the community, local businesses and district office volunteers to read in classrooms at least two times a year.
