Recently, NULITERS from North & SE High schools volunteered their time and entertaining talent to children enrolled in Head Start as a part of Green Eggs & Ham Day! The day focuses on children's literacy and is a great way to get youth to give back to their community. The pre-school children see them as role models and that's something for which we can be proud of our youth!
