Volunteers? Help close the achievement gap one kid at a time

McCarver Elementary School is just a few miles from campus at South 21st and J Street. The school faces severe challenges, including what was last year the highest poverty rate among its students of any public elementary school in our state. My good friend Scott Rich has just been named principal at McCarver. Scott is a dynamic young principal who has just completed a successful term at Birney Elementary. He tells me he has a great staff at McCarver, but he and the teachers and the kids could use some help. If you’d like to volunteer a little time to work with elementary school kids on reading and other skills, please let me know and I will put you in touch with Scott. Please email David Sousa at sousa@ups.edu, or call at extension 3176.
