Listening Friend: The Listening Friends Program is an opportunity for volunteers to connect with students in a one on one setting.  The Listening Friends volunteer for a minimum of 30 minutes per week and time is spent listening to children practice reading aloud.  Many of our students with language and learning differences struggle with reading and need extra practice in addition to what they get in the classroom and at home.  The Listening Friends are able to provide this opportunity for the children to practice reading skills, as well as develop relationships with the children they see.  A Listening Friend training will be held in the early fall for parents or Parish School friends who are interested in volunteering in this way.  Please contact Amy Richard, Elementary Coordinator if you have any questions.
