Special Event!
August 25th, 2025
Perhaps you are wondering what might be taking place at West Branch Friends on a Monday! If you have children at home, children in the neighborhood, children driving with new permits and licenses, you probably know this is the day public schools begin in the area! Why is this a special event? Here's why.
Schools are often struggling to have the funds needed to support all students, and teachers have to find ways to learn and understand each student's learning needs and prepare lessons to meet the various differences.
New laws from the state legislatures need to be understood and followed, often without any inpurt from teachers.
So yes, it's a special event each year and teachers and students get excited for the new year. So here's an idea...if you have the time, why not volunteer to help in a classroom or cafeteria?! There might just be one student who needs a friend, someone to read with, someone who seems to care fot them. It might just be the most fun and rewarding time you've had in a long time!
