Students, Adult Volunteers Pack "Ready For School" Learning Boxes At Pinehurst

Students, Adult Volunteers Pack "Ready For School" Learning Boxes At Pinehurst Elementary Tuesday and Wednesday

Students at Pinehurst Elementary and many adult volunteers will pack 700 "Ready for School" learning boxes at Pinehurst Tuesday and Thursday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Wicomico schools will help approximately 700 young children get "Ready for School" this summer with special learning boxes that tie in with the shows of the same name on PAC 14. This is the seventh year of "Ready for School," which has distributed more than 2,800 boxes to prekindergarten-age children in Wicomico County through schools and Head Start. Boxes will be distributed to prekindergartners near the end of the school year.

DVDs of the "Ready for School" shows are included in each box, as well as materials children and parents can use to stimulate summer learning and boost school readiness in the areas of reading, the alphabet and numbers. PNC Bank has been a key partner in support of "Ready for School" for the past two years. "Ready for School" will air on PAC 14 in August.
