In her visit to Rehoboth Beach Kiwanis Club, Dr. Susan Bunting, Indian River School District Superintendent, told about the school district she has been a part of for more than 30 years. The IRSD initiative she is most proud of is Project Village (Verbally Intensive Literacy and Learning Activities). The project provides an early educational program for economically challenged qualified three and four year olds. Many area Hispanic children will benefit from the program, which involves family and community partnerships to promote social and culture awareness. Rehoboth Beach Kiwanis Foundation will share in the partnership through a $2700 gift to fund Imagination Library. Young children with no pre-school opportunity will receive a book monthly until they reach kindergarten with a parent or other adult contracting to read to them daily. Initial results show the children in the program are now 90% ready for school, compared to previous results where the children had a 40% readiness rate.
