Remember
the Telstar-Community Partnership mentioned in past blogs? It’s a
network of THS staff members and local community resource people
working together to provide educational resources to Telstar teachers
and students. The planning committee has compiled both a list of
needs as identified by Telstar teachers and a directory of local
citizens who wish to share their education, experiences, and
interests to enhance curricular and co-curricular activities. Well,
so far only a handful of you WMSC members have volunteered for the
resource list, and we know there are more of you very talented people
out there! Won’t you join Al Cressy, Nancy Davis, Jim Bebko, Ruth
Bebko, Lee Smith and Steve Smith on the list? (There are, of course,
non-WMSC folks on the list as well.)
We
will be gearing up during the summer for the fall term, hoping to
match up teacher needs and volunteer willingness. In the meantime,
the Partnership team sponsored a luncheon on May 1 to thank Telstar
High School staff for their dedicated efforts with students. It was
a lot of fun, both for teachers and for community members William
Andrews, Allen Cressy, Rosemary Laban, Nancy Davis, Mike Broderick,
Rick Churchill, Rodney Harrington, Bruce Edwards, and Jim Bebko.
Remember,
the ways you might be able to help out are limitless; just a few:
giving talks, consulting with teachers on projects, serving as
chaperones on educational tours, arranging visits to cultural
institutions, tutoring individual students, and offering other kinds
of educational support. Community members who wish to help in these
endeavors may contact Allen Cressy for more information or to be
added to the Resource Directory (ajcressy@megalink.net or 824-0508).
Here are a few photos taken by Rick Churchill at the Telstar Teacher Appreciation Luncheon.
