Thanks! to the volunteers who shared their time and talent this past year with our ACT program. The Adults and Children Together program was initiated in the fall of 1996 by the Heart of Iowa Chapter of the national P. Buckley Moss Society. The Society promotes and supports projects which benefits children. First grade teachers Mrs. Tayler and Mrs. Vust are Chapter members.

Most volunteers spend one hour per week in the First and Second Grades. This year, over 340 hours have been accumulated from the 16 volunteers.
Beautiful geraniums and scented candles were appreciation gifts from the school and the Heart of Iowa Chapter. Special guest was Chapter President Lois Jacobson of Ames, who expressed thanks to all the teachers, students and volunteers for another successful year!
