McGee & Me proves popular
gram begins with volunteer
readers, a SMART coordina
tor, and students who will ben
efit from this reading program.
Kah-Nee-Ta High Desert Re
sort and Casino has donated
$500 to assist the program this
year.
SMART coordinator,
Myrna Frank, accepts the do
nation for the children who
volunteer readers from the
community.
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.

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.
