Kratzer noted that “This is a very worthwhile project that lets the students know that they have support of others besides their parents and their teach- ers. It gives them another person to talk to and shows them that someone else cares about them and what they do in the classroom setting.” Kratzer added, “All the sponsors very much enjoy the Country Garden Farm Supply interaction with the students. We have 20 students and 20 sponsors. This gives every student the attention they need and not let anyone left out. All the sponsors enjoy the time they spend with the students!” Sponsors from local churches meet with all three second grade classes at West Snyder Elementary.
