LAKENHEATH SCHOOLS Adopt-A-School The Adopt-A-School Program encourages units and squadrons to adopt a school and volunteer their time in building a positive role model relationship with the Department of Defense Dependents School community. Squadrons and units who adopt a specific school will be able to volunteer for various programs, events or activities within the school. For more information, contact the School Liaison Office at 226-5077 or 226-5078. Adopt-A-Classroom The Adopt-A-Classroom program is designed for a small group of people who wish to work with a classroom or in a specific venue of a school, such as volunteering for sports activities or school stores. Individuals can contact the School Liaison Office and indicate what teacher or activity with whom the group would like to volunteer. The SLO will make all necessary arrangements to set up the opportunity between the desired classroom or activity. This program allows small groups to become more involved with the children and allows the group to excel in a particular field rather than working on a large scale with the school. For more information, contact the SLO at 226-5077 or 226-5078. Mentor Program at Lakenheath Elementary School The Lakenheath Elementary School is seeking adult volunteers to work one hour a week with third grade students in the Mentor Program. The program meets during lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. every Monday. Mentors work one-on-one with students to foster achievement at school by building a positive, caring relationship. Activities include eating lunch together, doing 10 to 15 minutes of academic review, and then enjoying some social time, such as playing board games. For more information, contact Susan Reisch at 226-3721.
