Frazee Middle School Summer
"Watch, Work and Learn"

      The  goal of the Frazee Dream Center's "Watch, Work and Learn" program is to give Frazee students experiences with meaningful work that will help them develop a good work ethic and understand its value to themselves and others. To help meet this goal, the Center needs volunteers who will give Frazee middle and high school students personal experiences with work. Experiences might include yard work, gardening, woodworking, carpentry, cooking, serving food, cleaning, organizing, washing a car, filing papers, taking inventory, etc.
     Adult volunteers will work alongside 1-2 middle school students on a job.  The students will watch the volunteers show them how to complete the job well.  Then the students will work alongside volunteers, as they learn a new skill and experience the personal satisfaction of a job well done.
     "Watch, Work and Learn" will take place during the summer, Monday-Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.  Please contact Middle School Coordinator, Kory Kraft, at korykraft@hotmail.com or 864-616-8293 for more information.

Frazee Preschool
 
During the month of May, the preschool students learned about the letter "H" in a memorable way.  They rode and fed the horses at Eden Farms!  The little ones also enjoyed a picnic on the farm after all their "horsing around." Thank you to Eden Farms and Karin Freeman for providing this very special experience! 

 

Frazee Summer
 
Frazee summer begins Monday, June 10.  We are looking forward to a summer filled with all kinds of exciting enrichment activities for our preschool and elementary students.

The Frazee Dream Center preschool and elementary programs are looking for great volunteers of all ages to assist with summer activities.  Frazee summer will operate Monday - Friday from 9 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. during the weeks of June 10, 17, 24, July 8, 15, 22 and August 5. We would love to have volunteers come alongside the staff and assist children with their reading and math skills.

Each Friday from 11:10 a.m. -12:10 p.m., Frazee staff and volunteers provide Fun Friday classes for our Frazee elementary students.  With six students per class, the class activities range from cooking to basketball to photography to board games. The Frazee students look forward to these opportunities each week during the summer. 

If you would like to serve as a weekday volunteer or share your talents with a Fun Friday Class this summer, please contact Alise Brown at alise@frazeecenter.com.
