Shadow Oaks Elementary is a nearby school that Access has had the chance to serve over the last couple of years. We've provided Tiff's Treats, Amazon gift cards, and appreciation notes for their staff and teachers as a way to bless them.

Recently, they shared about a strategic need for Reading Buddies - adults who give 30 m. per week to help a 2nd grader who is falling behind in their reading. This grade is critical because research has found that a student's success outcomes are greatly hindered if they're not at reading level by 3rd grade.

Volunteering as as Reading Buddy is a tangible way for us to love our neighbors and make a difference locally. Reading takes place during school hours so availability during the day is necessary.

There's a one hour long training offered on Fri 8/26 or Fri 9/9 (but if you can't make those, we can also arrange for a separate training).
