Kings students need senior ‘Pals'

Warwick - Kings Elementary School is very excited to offer a Senior Pal Program to our senior community neighbors. In partnership with the Orange County Office for The Aging, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), the school is inviting interested seniors to become involved with its K-5 students in various activities, including: • Reading aloud. • Group discussions. • Telling a story about their lives. • Demonstrating a talent. • Sharing a collection or hobby. • Being interviewed for oral histories. • Telling about a career or heritage. • Homework help. • Helping with a class project. • Share photos and life experiences. • Assisting in the art room. • Talk with students about their school. • Listening to a child read aloud. • Help a child with writing. Volunteers receive cost-free insurance coverage when volunteering or attending a RSVP function, which includes supplemental accident and liability and excess auto insurance coverage while on volunteer duty. The time commitment is minimal: About two hours each month, from 1 to 3 p.m. If you are interested in learning more about the program, contact the Kings Elementary School at 845-987-3150.
