Literacy Project with ISACC Program - Spring 2012

Pictured are Islip Rotary President, Andrea Rubin-de-Cervens with ISACC Directory, Mr. Tracey Schaper, with  books created in a collaborative effort between Islip Rotary and ISACC, an Islip School before-and-after school program.  The program's elementary aged children wrote and illustrated two books, each entitled "What it Means to Be an American" and with the assistance of Islip Rotary had 150 copies of the books published.  Each student contributor received a copy of the book and the remaining copies were distributed to outreach programs of St. Mark's and St. Mary's churches in Islip and East Islip, respectively. Many thanks to Dianne Berton for coming up with the book topic, to Ann Flick for her assistance with the publication and most especially to Tracey Schaper for her enthusiastic support of our project and for guiding the children to the project's completion.
