Welcome Friends!
Announcements for the Week of Oct. 18, 2021
Folsom Garden Afterschool Volunteer Day
Get a head start on your volunteer hours and join Eileen and Guy from the South Hero Land Trust for an afternoon in the Folsom Community Garden on Monday (10/25) from 3-5 PM! We need help harvesting, cleaning out tomato beds, and preparing the garden for winter. Make sure to bring plenty of water, sturdy gloves, and warm clothes. We will provide tools and tea. The harvest will go to Ariana in the Folsom Kitchen, as well as to the Grand Isle Food Shelf to help feed Islanders in need. To attend, please RSVP by emailing Eileen at eileen@shlt.org. Hope to see you there!
Interested in becoming a mentor? We would love to hear from you!
The Grand Isle County Mentoring Program was launched in October 2009 with a
Mentoring in Schools implementation grant. Grand Isle County Mentoring is a
school- based mentoring program, which matches community children with
adults who have similar interests. They meet once a week for one hour in the
school at a mutually convenient time and develop a relationship. During their
time together they participate in many activities on the school grounds, including
games, arts and crafts, cooking and conversation. Mentoring has proven results
for both the children and adults who care enough to make the commitment of just
one hour a week. All 3 of our island schools have active mentoring pairs that
meet during the school year. All mentors are supported by the mentoring
coordinator in collaboration with school staff. Fun opportunities to gather as a
group are offered throughout the school year (when restrictions are lifted). Please
consider becoming part of this great program!
