One hour a week from you could make Rutland County a better place.The Mentor Connector is gearing up its school reading program and is looking for parent and adult volunteers to help local elementary schools.  They train adults who can volunteer 45 minutes of their lunch one day a week to read to and with a selected student. Reading mentors acquire rewards and benefits in this program just as much as the young students.   The greatest need is at the newest schools in the program: Proctor, Middletown Springs, Rutland City, Clarendon and Lothrop but there are also openings at other elementary schools in Rutland County. Contact Trish at The Mentor Connector, 802-775-3434, for more info or to sign up.
