Community Classroom 

Our Community Classroom Committee, joining together our DAR community and local classrooms, is volunteering in two area schools. One is Grass Valley’s Chicago Park Elementary, the other is Penn Valley’s Ready Springs Elementary.

A chapter Daughter has been our hardworking volunteer at Chicago Park Elementary every week in the eighth-grade language arts class, working with small groups of students in 20-minute rotations. And three of our chapter Daughters are also busy volunteering at Ready Springs Elementary two days every week. It’s such an “easy gig,” too, just 30 minutes working math facts or correcting timed math tests with the second graders. All volunteers are loving our time getting to know and helping these great kids!

Our Community Classroom committee program is still, and every month, welcoming donated school supplies and has our donation box at every meeting to collect items. Captain John Oldham Community Classroom Committee have already donated approximately eight grocery-size bags of school supplies to these two schools since the fall of 2018. Words do not express how much these items are appreciated by these hardworking teachers and super great kids!

The shortlist of always-needed items includes: Crayola colored markers (fine tip too), eraser tips, erasers, copy paper packs, Elmer’s glue sticks, Ticonderoga #2 pencils, and Crayola crayons.
