Maxine Finger, shown here with Quinton and Ava at Littlebrook School, is one of the more than 100 members of the Princeton Senior Resource Center’s popular GrandPals program, which takes adult volunteers into the Princeton Public Schools to help promote a love of learning. On Wednesday, September 21 at 10:30 a.m. in the Suzanne Patterson Building at 45 Stockton Street, volunteers will gather to learn about the program and sign up to read to children every week. GrandPals, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, encourages intergenerational friendships and pairs volunteers with one to two children for the year. You don’t have to be a grandparent to participate; just 50 or older. To register, call Olivian Boon at (609) 924-7108.
