Dear Year 5 CCE Reps,

 

Hope this email finds you well after OP! Here’s re-publicizing the KidsREAD programme for next year Term 1, which some of your peers have kindly served till today (last session for the year).

 

We will be recruiting more volunteers for next year, details are similar to my previous email below, on Saturdays afternoons (tentatively 1-2pm) in Term 1 next year.  This will be a short engagement, ending by Week 8 or 9 before your first Common Test next year.

 

Kindly sign up at www.tinyurl.com/RI-Jan-2014 by next Fri 15 Nov, 1pm. Current volunteers who are interested in continuing your service, please sign up through this link again too, this is because we would like to confirm if you are keen as well.

 

I will send another email, probably after next weekend to publicise about STep-Up in Term 1 2014 as well, so do expect another email from me.

 

Thanks and meanwhile have a good weekend ahead!

 

Regards,

Dear Year 5 CCE Reps,

 

Hope this email finds you well. Can I trouble you to publicise the following KidsREAD Programme to your classmates? Thanks! There will be more flag day opportunities coming up in Term 3, I will send you more details by end of May. Another thing is, for the “stand-in CCE reps”, if there is already a confirmed CCE Rep, please update me so that I can stop spamming you. Meanwhile thanks for your help!

 

The kidsREAD is a national reading programme that reaches out to children between the ages of 4 and 8 years (nursery - P2) who come from low-income families.

 

This programme aims to

a)         to leverage on the strengths of various partners to develop and manage a sustainable reading programme for children from the age of 4 to 8 in Singapore;

b)         to inculcate the love and interest in reading and cultivate good reading habits among young Singaporeans, particularly children from low-income families;

c)         to provide equitable access to knowledge via literature for children from low-income families, thereby enriching their lives and enhancing opportunities for future success;

d)         to strengthen social cohesion and enhance racial harmony by providing an avenue for children from various races to interact at an early age.

 

Teck Ghee Community Club Management Committee welcomes you to embark on this reading programme for the needy students residing within the Teck Ghee Constituency (Ang Mo Kio region). We hope to recruit about 10 volunteers to help conduct the reading sessions. NLB will provide the necessary resources and training for the students volunteers, most likely during the June holidays.

 

The tentative plans/details are as follows:

Duration of engagement: at least the whole of Term 3 this year, on a weekly basis

Time: Every Saturday from 1pm-2pm, starting from Term 3

Venue: Teck Ghee Community Club

 

Please sign up by 16 May, 5pm at www.tinyurl.com/RI-July-2013 if you are interested. Kindly note that the signup link will close prematurely if there are enough signups. More information will be given subsequently, if the numbers are confirmed. CIP hours will be awarded.

 

Thanks and have a good evening!
