Volunteer group outlines school enrichment programs, asks for community support
Summary
June Johnson of the Sebago school volunteer group described enrichment programs — planetarium visits, after-school activities, lantern walk and writing workshops — and said the group spends about $5,000–$6,000 annually on programs for Sebago Elementary students.
June Johnson, introducing herself as a representative of Sebago Partners in Community Education, described a range of enrichment programs the volunteer nonprofit supports for Sebago Elementary students, from science demonstrations and a planetarium show to a 'telling room' writing residency and a community lantern walk. Johnson said the group coordinates fundraising and spends about $5,000–$6,000 each year to supplement school programming.
Johnson asked for community volunteers and support for upcoming activities and noted the group's success in prior projects such as a new school sign and benches. "Our primary purpose is to provide funding and other support to both the children and adults of Sebago in order to encourage the arts, academic and social growth programs beyond those provided within the school budget," she said. Board members thanked the volunteers and encouraged continued partnership with the school.
