SUMMARY:Stuff the Bus 2023 - June 12 through July 31
DESCRIPTION:The Literacy Council is again participating as a collection site for the United Way’s Stuff the Bus School Supply Drive.  Stuff the Bus is a way for the community to come together to help young people succeed in school and is a way for the Literacy Council to support family literacy. Help share this Flyer too! \nMore than 1 in 3 households in Frederick County struggle to afford basic necessities (http://www.unitedwayfrederick.org/ALICE)\, so they find it very difficult to afford needed school supplies.  This drive helps ensure that all children have the supplies they need to do their homework\, take tests\, and complete projects. In 2022\, hundreds of bins of supplies were collected and thousands of items were purchased with donor gifts. Total Items & Value: An estimated 90\,358 items valued at $75\,054 were distributed to Frederick County students. It is a simple but important way to help children succeed in school. \nSTUFF THE BUS VIRTUAL DRIVE: \nThis year the Literacy Council is also supporting online donations for school supplies through the Stuff the Bus virtual drive organized by the United Way of Frederick County which runs June 12 through July 17. The virtual drive allows for cash donations to purchase school supplies: \nhttps://fundraise.givesmart.com/vf/StuffTheBus23/team/LiteracyCouncil \nDonations of any amount are most appreciated. Here are some examples of what different cash donations might purchase: \n\n$15 buys pencils\, markers\, and crayons for one kindergarten student\n$50 supports one elementary student with basic supplies\n$150 provides a middle school student with all necessary supplies\, including a backpack\n$200 buys a high school student basic supplies\, including a graphing calculator\n$500 provides 10 pre-k students with all necessary supplies\, including backpacks\n\nSTUFF THE BUS IN-PERSON DROP OFF: \nYou may drop off your donation of new items at the Literacy Council office Monday – Friday\, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.\, beginning Monday\, June 19 through Monday\, July 31. \nPlease drop off items in the collection bin in the lobby of our 110 E.

SUMMARY:ESL Conversation Class - Student Led ~ 1st & 3rd Tuesdays
DESCRIPTION:This is a student-led ESL conversation class.  Students meet every other week to plan the class and class strategies.  Students themselves give presentations and mini-presentations about their country of origin\, first year in the United States\, or anything else of interest to them.  Idioms are discussed.  We also read the newspaper News for You for practice in pronunciation.  We break down into smaller groups to have discussions.  It is a very social time for students to get to know one another and make friendships. \nThe class will meet every first and third Tuesday of the month from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. from September 17 through December 3.  Sometimes students bring in food to share\, but you are allowed to eat in the classroom\, so we suggest that you bring a lunch or snack.  Other times\, we go on field trips especially in the summer. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Holiday Book Drive 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Literacy Council of Frederick County is again partnering with Curious Iguana for our Annual Holiday Book Drive to provide new books for elementary school aged children (PreK through 5th grade). \nWhile the Literacy Council serves adult literacy needs\, providing appealing\, age-appropriate books to children fosters literacy at a young age and helps to break the cycle of low literacy in families.  The books will be given to parents of children in elementary school who are participating in the Literacy Council’s tutoring or class instruction programs. The Literacy Council recently began working directly with the Judy Center and Lincoln\, Hillcrest and Waverley Elementary Schools to provide tutoring at the schools for parents whose children attend these schools\, and many of our other students also have young children with whom to share the books. \nSuggestions for younger grades include: board books\, picture books (fiction and nonfiction)\, early chapter books; and for older grades: mid-grade chapter books\, paperback series\, graphic novels\, and STEM titles. \nTo participate in the Holiday Book Drive\, you may purchase and donate books between November 15 and December 13 at Curious Iguana in downtown Frederick (12 N. Market St.).  Or you may simply purchase a book and drop it off at the Literacy Council’s office at 110 E. Patrick St. no later than December 13. \nDonors often like to share a childhood favorite or just encourage the habit of reading in a child. We request no religious holiday themed books so that we are not limited in distributing them. \nDownload a flyer to share here. \nThe Holiday Book Drive\, now in its 13th year\, has provided books for several local agencies including Head Start\, the YMCA’s Early Learning Center\, Toys for Tots\, Advocates for Homeless Families\, Children of Incarcerated Parents (COIP)\, and Blessings in a Backpack.
