Today we celebrated our amazing Mrs. Weisbrod as she moves into an exciting new position helping students, staff and families at Stillwater High School! We will miss her dearly, but we are so grateful for the endless ways she has cared for our school community over the years and her important impact in the lives of our students. We are cheering for you, Mrs. Weisbrod, and we can’t wait to catch up with you at the high school!

VESL (Volunteers for Elementary School Literacy), a program sponsored by our Stillwater

School District and administered by the Stillwater Sunrise Rotary Club, is looking to expand the

number of volunteers supporting Bayport Elementary. If you have a love for reading or math

and a heart for helping children succeed, consider joining the VESL team. Together, we can

help every child discover the joy and power of reading and math literacy. We believe this creates

a wonderful opportunity for Bayport community members to support our local community school!

As a VESL volunteer you will spend time working one-on-one or in very small groups with

students who are developing their reading or math skills. Typically, volunteers come in once or

twice a week for 1 to 2 hours at a time. For more information please email

VESL@sunrotary.org.
