Heard
from Volunteers:
-
“I never really knew about some of the needs
right here. I was touched.”
- “We
worked hard, but I also laughed and talked
with co-workers whom I rarely see. It was
great. There is actually a different feeling
in the office now.”
- “This
day provides an excellent example of how important
community support is [to our school]. Our
volunteers serve as outstanding role models
for our students.”
