School days are fast approaching! Although the kids might not be ready for it, Boomer Brigade is getting volunteers ready to serve in local classrooms as they strive to increase family involvement in our schools. Research has shown that such involvement helps children do better. According to a Harvard study, “Family involvement can promote elementary school children’s success. Children… whose parents participate in school activities tend to have high-quality work habits and task orientation compared to children whose parents do not participate.” Boomer Brigade was formed as a local resource to help you through the steps to volunteer and answer any questions. “The children are the future,” shares Dr. Laura Foley, founder of the Boomer Brigade. “They need many caring adults in their life to succeed.” If you have even a slight interest, come to the meeting
on Tuesday, August 6th from 1:30pm to 2:30pm
at the lower conference room in the Uintah County Library. For more information, please call Laura Foley at
