Celebration of Volunteers

The Day of the Angels The Mentor Committee of the Flair Literacy Program and the Santa Paula Elementary School District made Friday the day to honor volunteers that help students throughout the district overcome a hurdle they are having in school. Each year the volunteers donate many hours to show students the ins and outs of different subjects. Students that the volunteers have helped during the year wrote poignant notes to tell them how much they appreciate their help.
