Volunteers Step It Up
Mrs. Archer's second grade class recently had some parent volunteers who came in to help the children make some fun holiday projects. The parents brought in supplies to make ornaments for the children to take home. They also did a brief lesson on trees, relating to second grade's study of plants.
Parents are a vital part of Brewster and we encourage parents to come to our Volunteer Orientation in the fall to "become one of our family."
Senior citizens take an active role with Brewster |

students. On special days, we have Durham and Middlefield seniors come to help with special projects. The children love having the seniors come into the classroom and help.
Brewster and Korn students also have a great time connecting with the seniors by wishing the senior citizens a happy birthday. The students make a special phone call to sing to the seniors on their birthday. |
