Kindergarten is the start of a formal school environment for many children. United Way, as part of our United In Care program, encourages school-readiness and early literacy. Through this effort, we would like each child at one of our many partner preschools to get a card or letter of encouragement that creates excitement about entering kindergarten.
Volunteering for this project is easy and can be done by ANYONE! Simply make a card or write a short note of support and encouragement for a new kindergartener. You can include a favorite memory about your own kindergarten experience or perhaps the titles of your favorite children's books. Please send your card/letter to United Way of Northern New Jersey at P.O. Box 6835, Bridgewater, NJ 08807 - Attn. Cards for Kindergarten.
This project can be done by a family, an individual, a Girl Scout or Boy Scout troop, service club or any other type of group. Sign up TODAY and start making a nice card to encourage continued learning for children entering kindergarten.
