    Love kids & books? Become a Volunteer Reader for SMART Reading 

    SMART Reading (East Metro) | http://www.SMARTReading.org

    Help support children’s literacy in your community and inspire a love of books and reading by becoming a Volunteer Reader. This volunteer position is vital to SMART Reading, providing direct literacy support to kids through weekly shared reading sessions. Volunteer Readers will read with one assigned child (One-to-One SMART) or to a classroom of students (Classroom SMART). 

    The SMART Reading program has Volunteer Reader opportunities throughout the state, but our highest need sites right now are: Earl Boyles Elementary, Mt. Hood Community College Head Start and Highland Elementary.  Programs run during school hours through the end of the school year. Time commitment is 1-2 hours per week.

    About SMART Reading: 

    SMART Reading is a children’s literacy nonprofit that serves kids in Oregon’s highest need schools with two ingredients critical for literacy and learning success: one-on-one reading time and access to books. We mobilize volunteers to read with PreK through third-grade children, building confidence, literacy skills and a love of reading. SMART Reading provides a meaningful way for Oregonians to make a direct impact in their communities.

    If interested, please contact rmechanik@smartreading.org or 971-634-1628.

    You can help your employees get even broader benefits working for you without any direct cost to you!  If we do it before year end, your employees will get some powerful benefits:

    o  “Tis the season" for legal and ID theft issues.  Peak crimes this time of year.  ID Thieves want a good Christmas too.

    o  Judges tend to take time off during the holidays - not available to straighten things out - you or loved ones do not want to be detained due to ID theft or wrongful charges during this time

    o  MemberPerks huge for shopping Our 4 million members give us huge buying clout

    o  Sharp people and businesses do their Tax planning before year end and need legal/tax advice

    o  Motor vehicle exposure is higher and riskier traveling over holidays and across states

    o  Returns and warranties disputes

    o  More people buying homes Jan/feb -residential loan docs

    We have to advocate to our city to take action with the laws and resources we have at our ready today. No person should be using hard drugs in plain view in front of our children. We never want to normalize this behavior to our little ones or anyone else.
