The Between the Lions program at William Walton Elementary School in Jackson completed its program year with an advancement ceremony in which the pre-Kindergarten children were promoted to Kindergarten for the next school year beginning in September. For the past 9 months members of the Rotary Club of North Jackson have been reading to the Pre-K children on a weekly basis. The program is one sponsored by Mississippi public Broadcasting. The Rotary Club of North Jackson is a co-sponsor along with MPB. Rotarian Dr. J. Clinton Smith has chaired the project. Approximately 8 members of the club have actively participated this year. It has been a wonderful year introducing the children to books and, as lead by Dr. Smith, a little bit of exercise. Our program is coordinated by Ms. Kat Jordan of MPB. Our hosts are Ms. Angela Sandifer. Pre-K teacher, Ms. Gewn Gardner, Principal, and Dr. Shevonne McDuffy-Oatis, Resource Specialist.It has been a marvelous year watching these children absorb the knowledge.
