Special Request – Neighbors to Support a Local Classroom
Coordinator: Ayana Gabriel
The Westview Community Organization has adopted a local classroom, Ms. Hunter’s 6th grade class, at KIPP STRIVE Academy. This is a perfect opportunity to spend time with children in the neighborhood. We are looking for neighbors who can spend as little as 30 minutes speaking to the class about how you use reading in your everyday life. We also need neighbors who are willing to help organize classroom books. This is a GREAT activity for retired neighbors, so if you know any please mention it to them!

Special Request – Help Paint Elderly Neighbor’s Homes
Coordinator: Ayana Gabriel
The local non-profit, House Proud, spends time fixing up the homes of elderly neighbors in need. Our local representative, Jonathan Kidwell, has asked if there are any neighbors who can help paint on higher parts of a local neighbor’s home. “Higher parts” are areas that require a person to be comfortable with a 24′ ladder. So if you aren’t scared of heights and have some time, let us know!
