We would like to thank Mrs. Jacqueline Tolbert Beverly of 'Families and Schools Together' for a great fun night and an exciting fun filled workshop.

Intergenerational School  Breakfast Program

The program is sponsored by the State of New Jersey Departments, Health and Senior Services Education and Agriculture, and the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Senior Volunteers ages 50 plus serve as nutrition mentors with Pre-K - 3rd Grade children.  All volunteers receive training and materials prior to entering Trenton Public Schools.  Stokes Elementary School has three excellent  Senior Volunteers:

Stanley Belza- Volunteer Co-ordinator. Stanley is a graduate of Trenton Central High School, class of 1951. He has been retired for five years . Prior to retirement , Mr. Belza worked as Regional Director for the Job Corps of America. He was director for New York, Puerto Rico, New Jersey, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Stanley stated," I have so much to give , that I became a volunteer". He also stated that he has so much fun as a volunteer, that he hopes that "we don't start charging him."

Cary R. Banks-  Volunteer Mentor     He has been retired for nine years. Prior to retirement, he was Regional Director for IBM. He is referred to a C.R.. He states that he enjoys working with today's children, and that they are a real challenge, and that's what keeps him going. He would like to say hello to the trustee's of Saint John's Baptist Church of Ewing Township.

Charles Newlin - Volunteer Mentor  He has been retired for seven years, and was a long distance truck driver for 42 years. He said he had a lot of fun with the children of Stokes Elementary School, and he hopes that working with our children would promote a desire with other retirees to " get out and volunteer."

We the Staff and Students of Joseph Stokes Elementary School, would like to thank our volunteers for all of the help and support that we are receiving from our Intergenerational School Breakfast Program Volunteers. 12/05/2007
