A Meaningful Evening by Barbara Stern

FRENCHMAN’S CREEK

VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

Grove Park Elementary School reached out to our community for help with their Science “event” which was held on Thursday February 8th at 5:30 -7 PM. It’s part of the STEM project to engage and interest students in Science Technology Engineering and Math! The Science Museum set up 20 interactive centers at the school that need an adult/ teenager to work at! We were asked to arrive 30 minutes prior to get instructions. The students received a stamp when they completed each center. Pictured are some of our members helping with this project.

Stuart Halpert has informed us of the most recent volunteer outing to Palm Beach Gardens High School on February 16, 2018.We assisted in helping to prepare the high school finalists for a State Competition for scholarship funds sponsored by The Palm Beach Post. They requested volunteers to help coach students heading into the final round of a Palm Beach Post sponsored statewide competition for college scholarships. Those who "interview" best in front of the final judges win. Our job was to help prepare the kids to give a great interview! Palm Beach Gardens High School is sending 18 of their top students, with whom we worked, to the finals. As one volunteer commented, the experience for the Frenchman’s volunteers was “very uplifting”. There is great hope in the next generation coming up in America!
