School Volunteer Program
             A School is more than books and desks
                    And learning two plus two
            It’s people who share the skills and care,
                  And try their best in all they do.
            Please accept our heartfelt appreciation.

            Un colegio es más que libros y pupitres
             Es más que aprendiendo dos más dos
  Son las personas que comparten sus estresas y corazón y su
                        mejor esfuerzos
           Por favor acepten nuestra sincera gratitud.
