We are looking for support to help build a library at Harper Preschool that serves both Newport Beach and Costa Mesa communities. What is Leadevsh.i.p- Tomorrow? Leadership Tomorrow was founded on the belief that the more knowledgeable people are about how their community works and what its needs are, the better t.hep will be able to lead —and serve —that community. Leadership Tomorrow — through its programs expands knowledge, empowers citizens and promotes community involvement. This �- Year, Laonne Harkless and Matt Lohr are part of this class and project. and represent the City of Newport Beach. Whv Hat-mv Pre- School? Harper Preschool combines both Special Education children and State preschool children in a variety of settings, including mainstream preschool classes, blended classes and special dap classes. Many of the children come from houses where there is little. if any, reading material available and will therefore serve as an important introduction to reading. Our goal is to have all children prepared for a successful transition to kindergarten.
