Mrs. Hastings and the Volunteer Program Action Team use that training in the development of a Volunteer Information Sheet, Volunteer Agreement, Resource Guide, and Field Trip Chaperone Guidelines, now shared with several elementaries. The success of this program, combined with dedicated staff and families, has given Vanderhoof students the boost to succeed. Vanderhoof has been named one of Jefferson County's 10 Model Schools. Vanderhoof and Inland have developed a truly winning partnership with proven benefits for students. Ileen Hastings recruits volunteers from all segments of the community.
Volunteers are parents, grandparents, and local senior residents.
Each volunteer works with one to three students for approximately 45 minutes once a week. Gordon Duffy works with the 2nd graders and is pictured at the right. We would like to thank him and all of our wonderful volunteers. Inter-Church ARMS has provided Vanderhoof Elementary with a valuable partnership which includes a Literacy Development Program. Gordon Duffy volunteers with second graders and primarily supports literacy development through writing activities.
