As part of FCUMC’s outreach programs and in accordance with our core values, we are re-establishing our relationship with Tommie Brown Academy this fall. The program will enable kindergarten and first-grade teachers at Brown to improve their students’ literacy levels prior to entering second grade. Reading is fundamental and this initiative can make a significant difference in the children’s future academic success. We need First-Centenary Volunteers as follows:

• 2 volunteers for each of three kindergarten classes, one on MWF and one on T/Th @ 8:30-9:40 each day
• 2 volunteers for each of four first-grade classes. Also, one on MWF and the other on T/Th @ 9:00-10:05 each day.

Literacy instruction requires slightly over a one-hour commitment on the designated days. This commitment will include the entire 2022-2023 school year beginning in mid-September. No prior training in literacy instruction will be necessary. We hope you will join us in this opportunity to serve some terrific kids and their teachers!
