Learning Leaders celebrated its 2nd annual Great School Volunteer Week (GSVW May 17 – June 15, 2010), with a star-studded lineup of programs within New York City public schools.

Many caring New Yorkers—including celebrities Bernadette Peters, JacquesD’Amboise, Tracy Reese, Sonia Manzano, Tina Louise, and Learning Leaders’ Authors Read Aloud volunteers—participated in GSVW by reading aloud, visually interacting and performing stories to students. Corporations such as Alliance Bernstein and IBM also supported the week by sending teams into the schools reading and conducting arts and science projects with children from Kindergarten to 5th Grade.

GSVW was launched last year to celebrate the vitality of our public schools, and continues to provide opportunities for Learning Leaders to demonstrate the impact of well trained volunteers in fostering student success. We thank everyone who helped make GSVW so magical! View photos from the week’s events here: http://tinyurl.com/3ymr797.
