Cumberland School, Another Opportunity to Serve: In the discussion with Pastor after service Sunday, we became aware that the best way to reach the children of Cumberland is to work with them one on one. At a minimum, our goal is to get some of these kids into the Wednesday night CONNECT program. There are teachers at Cumberland that have children falling behind in math. Another teacher has 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades in her room. They could all use some assistance. I'm sure there are also more needs than just these. Please consider taking some time, 1 or 2 days a week, to help them. There is a form to fill out to meet the Lansing School Distracts security requirements. I have those so please come and see me if you are interested in assisting~ Viv M
