Jim Matthews Scholarship Project
by- Elizabeth McLauchlan
My name is Elizabeth McLauchlan and I
am a senior at Butte Falls High School. I
am currently working on a community
service project for the Jim Matthews
Mem. Scholarship. This project is an
opportunity for me to give back to the
community and I have chosen to
implement the SMART program at Butte
Falls Elementary School.
SMART (Start Making A Reader Today)
is a book and reading program for
kindergarten through third grade
children. Former Oregon govenor, Neil
Goldschmidt, founded the program
through the Oregon Children ’s Foun
dation. Children involved in the pro
gram read with a community volunteer
twice a week. This program is designed
to create enthusiastic readers who can
read at or above grade level by the time
they leave elementary school.
I am working hard to get this program
started for the coming school year. In
order to reach this goal I will need
assistance from members of the
community. I am also greatly in need of
a school coordinator to make sure the
project runs smoothly. The role of
coordinator is a paid position that
would require a commitment of about
10 hours per week. Responsibilities
include recruiting volunteers, sched
uling reading sessions, training
volunteers, preparing progress reports,
and other related activities. In addition
to the coordinatior position, there are
several other opportunities for
community members to be involved
with the project. Volunteers are needed
to make a commitment of one hour per
week to read to two students for one
half-hour at a time. Anyone who is
interested in providing financial
assistance or in volunteering for one of
the above stated openings, please feel
free to contact me at school (541) 865-
3563 or at home (541) 865-3678.
I am excited about the opportunity to
implement the SMART program at Butte
Falls Elementary School and I am sure
that you are too. This program will not
only improve the children ’s reading
skills, but will help bring our comm
unity closer to our youth!
