Have a full time job but, you still want to Volunteer?
Have you ever heard of a Rubber Ducky Race?
Well, if you haven’t now is your chance…
During the month of May, American Red Cross
Rota Volunteers held booth sales to sell and
sponsor Rubber Ducks ready to race! Anyone
could sponsor a duck $5 and/or sponsor and
keep a duck for $7.
Prizes were donated by both the American Red
Cross and local vendors on and around the in-
stallation.
On the day of the event, May, 25, 2013, the
sponsored rubber ducks were lined up in the
housing pool at the ready. Three volunteers cre-
ated waves that carried the ducks to the other
end of the pool.
The first couple of ducks that made it to
the other end of the pool won. This year’s
Rubber Ducky Race, earned an astounding
$928.50! Thanks to our volunteers and
our sponsors for making this event a true
success!
A special thanks goes to Jeff Hyland and
Jen Matamoros for leading the race!
Another special thanks to our sponsors:
Mandy’s Massages, The Rota Golf Course,
The NEX Photo Studio, Takkio’s, and Navy
Federal Credit Union.

Your student will take a Reading Counts quiz about the
book. Help them with reading the questions.
If there is still time, choose one of the activities provided. These might include drawing a picture about the book, filling out an opinion survey, or talking about the begin-
ning, middle, and end.
When it is time to leave, say goodbye to your student and
show eagerness to read with them the next week.
In the end, the main goal of this program is to get kids
reading and to get them excited about reading. Just by
showing up each week to spend an hour reading with a
student will greatly enhance their attitude towards
reading. Please consider donating your time and
making a difference to the students of Rota, Spain.
Ever wonder what the After School Scholars Program is all about? Read on and find out just what volunteering for this
program will entail.
Show up at the elementary school and sign in at the office.
Walk over to the media center and wait for the students to
arrive. (While waiting, pick up your student’s folder and re-
view the book the child will read today.)
As students arrive, greet your student and show excitement and enthusiasm about the book of the day. Talk about the
topic of the book and relate it to real life.
Listen while the student reads. If they have trouble with a
word, help them sound it out.
Talk about what happened in the book.
