Warsaw Community Schools

United Way is partnering with Warsaw Schools to launch START UNITED, a summer experience for 1,000 children who need a boost before the first day of school. This partnership provides an on-ramp for students who need to regain any momentum that has been lost since March. Routine is so important for kids. It gives them the security they need to explore and take risks. United Way is ready to take the first step in helping our kids reset their routines. Read United matches volunteers with a classroom where they will share stories via Zoom call. United Way provides books and prompt cards. Volunteers read once a week for 15 minutes for 3 weeks. 100 volunteers are needed. Sign up at United Way’s website, https://www.unitedwaykosciusko.org/ Registration deadline is July 19th. #ForwardTogether #wcsmission #STARTUNITED

WCS is partnering with United Way to launch START UNITED. United Way of Kosciusko County will be supporting the upcoming summer school program for k-5 with a Virtual Reading Resource for teachers to use during the session and again in the school year. United Way is also donating handmade masks in student-size and adult-size as well as Ready-to-Go bags filled with school supplies for ALL students who attend. A BIG thank you to Angela Hopper, WCHS, for setting up the recording equipment, and to Logan Smith, Class of 2022, for volunteering his time this week to videotape guest readers.
