Letter to the Editor: Thank You United Way of San Juan County
United Way of San Juan County is an amazingly helpful organization that supports many needed programs on our islands, that would otherwise go unfunded.
Primary Intervention Program (PIP), also known as the Special Pal Program, is one of the programs supported by United Way. This program is based out of Friday Harbor Elementary School and is designed to help each student have the most successful learning experience possible by encouraging healthy self-image and positive social skills.
PIP staff and trained volunteers help students in the primary grades with these goals. So far this year, over 50 students have participated in the program. This school program would not be possible without the significant financial support from United Way. During a time when state funding for education and other services has been inconsistent, United Way has stepped in to save many essential and deserving programs, like PIP. I encourage the community to continue its support of United Way. Thank You!
Sincerely,
Amara Zee and Teresa Tilton
PIP Coordinators
