Meeting Jan 5 at Templeton Landing Internatioanl students at Buffalo Seminary
In recent years, more and more students from around the world are studying in the United States during their secondary school years. Colleges and universities continue to host international students... in large numbers, and Buffalo has ranked in the top ten cities for the number of international students studying at the university level. Now, high school students are joining them! Buffalo Seminary began its residential program three years ago, and this fall twenty five young women moved into four homes in Buffalo to live and study here. The trend to encourage students to study abroad is something the Rotary has supported for years, but the opportunity to add residential programs at the secondary level in Buffalo offers new opportunities for our city and our students. The economic impact cannot be underestimated in this difficult economic time, but the knowledge and insight into the larger world constitute the real benefit for students. High school students today will make a difference tomorrow. The greater their understanding of what it means to live as global citizens, the more all of us stand to benefit. Jody Douglass is in her fifth year as Head of School at Buffalo Seminary. Previously she served as Head of School at George Stevens Academy in Blue Hill, Maine, where she helped start an international boarding program. She was Assistant Head of School and Dean of Faculty at Brooks School in North Andover, Massachusetts, and served as Assistant Dean of Admission at Middlebury College and at Bates College. In 2001, Ms. Douglass and her husband spent a year in Beijing, China, teaching for School Year Abroad. She has a BA in Sociology from Bates and an MA in English from Middlebury.

Read to Succeed, with the support of the Rotary Foundation of Buffalo, is bringing Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to children under age five living in zip code 14215!Your child is eligible:
From birth until he or she is 60 months (five years) old If he or she resides in the 14215 zip code on Buffalo's East side
Country music star and literacy advocate Dolly Parton created the Imagination Library to provide free books to disadvantaged children to foster a love of reading and to improve literacy skills among young children!
Each month all registered children from birth to age five will receive a new, age-appropriate book through the mail that will be theirs to keep! The child will continue to receive a free book every month until their fifth birthday - that's 60 books if a child is registered in the program from birth! This is a great way for children to start creating their own library at home.
Books in the Home Make A Difference!Research shows that children who grow up with books in their home typically reach higher education levels. A love of reading begins at home with an adult sharing story time with a child or group of children or by an older brother or sister reading to younger siblings. For children in the 14215 zip code in Buffalo, this is an opportunity to make reading fun and to make story-telling come alive with a new story each month!
Without early literacy skills, many children will struggle as they begin school. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library will provide new books to children in one of Buffalo's largest neighborhoods allowing children and families to start creating a culture of literacy at home.
