KADEP Volunteer Group









Congratulations and Thank You, to the KADEP Volunteer Group!  Each Friday a group of KADEP volunteers, Gary, and Shin, work on projects around the building.  They decided to create a lovely brick path on the back patio near the pond and garden.  

They have been hard at work and the project is coming together! Today, they laid their first brick.  Rocky Mountain MS Center Executive Director, Karen Wenzel, was there to help get the path started.  Great work to Gary, Shin, and the whole group!  Thank you, Volunteers!

KADEP Participants are Reading Buddies at Alsup








Laura's Reading Buddy Group has been visiting Alsup Elementary Kindergarten class each Tuesday morning this semester.  We have had so much fun watching the students improve their reading.  We read to them, and they read to us.  We have done lots of fun activities, we sing songs and create art while visiting on Tuesdays.  It has been such a great experience, forming friendships with the students at Alsup.  Thank you to Ms. Koss and all the Kindergarten students! You very are special to us!
