Lynn Turner, a VISTA vol-
unteer at Hogansville
Elementary School, will coordi-
nate volunteers to work one-on-
one with children who are at
risk. Too many children have
not mastered the basic and
essential reading skills needed
to reach their full potential.
This is where the mentoring
program comes in. A child can
come into the school once or
twice a week to read with a men-
tor 30 minutes to one hour. What
a difference it will make in a
child's life!
Ms. Turner will be signing
up volunteers throughout the
summer for the upcoming
school year. If you or anyone
you know would like to become
a mentor, Ms. Turner may be
contacted at 812-7990 (school)
or 637-6052 (home).
