It is heartwarming to see corporate volunteers like KPMG positively impacting their local communities. Farmingdale elementary students attending the summer literacy programs hosted at Saltzman East Memorial and Woodward Parkway Elementary Schools were visited by KPMG volunteers on August 1, 2023, to celebrate Community Impact Day. The efforts put forth by KPMG volunteers to bring joy and learning to these young Dalers are commendable.

The “healthy kits” distribution included books, school supplies, a jump rope, and bags was a brilliant move to promote healthy habits and a love of learning among young students. It is inspiring to see how a small gesture like this can make such a significant impact on the lives of young children.

Moreover, the children’s participation in yoga and making Kindness Stones was a great way to entertain and educate them. This event was a perfect example of how learning can be made fun and interactive.

The administrators’ dedication to providing students with opportunities to succeed both academically and personally is admirable. By sustaining reading abilities during summer breaks, academic performance can be significantly boosted, giving students a better chance at success.
