The SMART program is de signed to assist students with their reading skills to become better readers. "The students read the books and find out that there is a story," says Frank. Students will read weekly and be able to take books home with them. This new book will own personal library. These books are given to students and the supply of books is replenished consistently to provide more choices for the readers. There are currently about 13 volunteer readers for this school year. Frank is hoping that more volunteers will join in this effort to build reading skills. By D. "Bing" Bingham Spilyay Tymoo Carol Allison and the crew at the Community Wellness Cen ter figured they had their bases covered when they prepared snacks for about 30 kids at the first 'McGee & Me' party. They had to do some fast thinking when over 80 kids showed up. Fortunately, they got the job done. Now, after they had over a hundred youngsters attend the second party, they plan ahead to feed an entire crowd. 'McGee & Me' is a series of character building videos that are wildly popular with children. "Kids have been watching the videos in my room for years and they just love 'em," says Carol Allison, Family Event Coordinator at the Community Wellness Center. The videos contain a life les son to which children can relate: One is about lying, another is about bullying and peer pressure. Still another teaches children about being happy with who they are and not trying to be someone they're not. "It's about this boy and he's an artist in school. He draws a little cartoon character... called McGee,' says Allison, "The character is the boy's best friend and he reminds the boy of the good things he should be doing." She continues, "The boy doesn't always listen to the car toon character and he usually gets in trouble. It's everyday happenings and it's conse quences. I think the reason the kids like them so well is the main character is in the same situation they're in practically every day." That's when Carol's brainstorm happened: "Why don't we have a party centered around those videos?" She gathered some help from the Victims of Crimes Services and Community Coun seling. Then she put together some gifts with the assistance of Kah-nee-ta High Desert Resort and Casino. The third 'McGee & Me' party will happen at the Com munity Wellness Center on De cember 30 between 1 1 a.m. and 2 p.m. The theme will be from the video, 'The Fight Before Christ mas.' "It's about a Christmas play at school and the boys get in a fight," she says. Snow sleds will be given away to children, and there will be plenty of Nachos on hand for the kids to make and eat. 71 SxSlJbL o flimsy.
