Time to Perform during August By Kaye Osborn
Believe it or not, many Central Valley children head back to school in August. The traditional September school start is a thing of the past. Get involved at your children’s school…on a weekly basis volunteer in their classrooms, help with special activities and if you can’t physically go to their school ask how you can help from your home. You can make a difference!
