OPERATION SCHOOL BELL:<br />
chairman, Linda Ledbetter, reports that we<br />
clothed 107 Georgetown, Jarrell and<br />
Florence school children at our Operation<br />
School Bell Spring Distribution event at<br />
Walmart on March 24. The school nurse at<br />
Jarrell Elementary also arrived that morning<br />
and selected items to restock her clothes<br />
closet at the school. A very nice, long<br />
article about our Operation School Bell<br />
program and the Assistance League of<br />
Georgetown Area appeared in the Sun on<br />
Wednesday, March 28, 20<strong>18</strong>, and we have<br />
had positive response from it.<br />
READING AND MORE:<br />
chairman, Denise Pezek reports that April is<br />
the last reading month of this year.<br />
Assistance League has bought over 1,000<br />
books for the reading lab. The Reading<br />
Interventionist at Jarrell has asked that<br />
when the second elementary school is<br />
open, would it be possible to expand and<br />
have another grade (either third or first)<br />
read to us. Denise hopes to meet with the<br />
principal in April to talk about this and the<br />
new school plans. Doing a similar reading<br />
program is being discussed with the<br />
Florence Independent School District, who<br />
have requested this.<br />
SCHOLARSHIP:<br />
chairman, Donna Provence, reports that we<br />
have reviewed applications from all three<br />
Georgetown high school campuses, and<br />
selected some for review by anyone<br />
interested in reviewing them. The date for<br />
the review TBA.<br />
ASSIST A TEACHER:<br />
chairman Janice Bailey, reports that Pat<br />
Holland has asked Assist a Teacher to join<br />
her and speak at Kiwanis Club in May.<br />
Kathy Nelson will represent the committee,<br />
as Janice will be out of town.<br />
NEW FRIENDS:<br />
chairman Karen Ellsworth, Karen Ellsworth<br />
reports that seven volunteers helped with<br />
the March event at Autumn Leaves, and<br />
thanks those who stepped up to lead in her<br />
absence. The next party will take place on<br />
April 17 at 2:00 p.m., with 1:50 as the arrival<br />
time. She wants to thank all the awesome<br />
volunteers for their participation.<br />
