Adopt a School
‘SCHOOL DAYS, SCHOOL DAYS
GOOD OLD GOLEN RULE DAYS”
Sound familiar? I watched the kids board the school bus recently with such energy and enthusiasm - at least for some! There were several mothers wiping tears from their eyes! By the time you read this, school will be in full swing. NOW is the time for you to swing into action with the ADOPT A SCHOOL PROGRAM.
As with many organizations, the future of Sons of Norway is in the hands of our young people. The ADOPT A SCHOOL PROGRAM is one way to reach out into our schools and communities with Norwegian cultural programs. The rewards are three fold: the school children and teachers learn about Norway, the community gains knowledge of Norwegian culture and food, and the participating lodges benefit from positive public relations. The ADOPT A SCHOOL PROGRAM is a treasure/tool box just waiting to be opened.
Many lodges are already involved in the ADOPT A SCHOOL PROGRAM, however, many are not! Interested? You can send for an ADOPT A SCHOOL PROGRAM kit from Sons of Norway International or contact your 3rd District ADOPT A SCHOOL PROGRAM coordinator for information and advice.
In the meantime, for those lodges that do have an ADOPT A SCHOOL PROGRAM, post your success stories on the 3DT ADOPT A SCHOOL PROGRAM web page. What better encouragement then sharing first hand experience?
NOW HOP ON THAT SCHOOL BUS AND GET GOING!
