I enjoy watching children learn and gain the ability to do things for themselves. I feel very fortunate to work with such amazing people, families and children. I truly do love my job and what I do. Coming to work, I know every day will be different and that I will hopefully make a difference in the lives of the children I teach!

I like working as a Volunteer - it’s wonderful! I sort the food that comes in and help with food baskets and paperwork. I’m working with good people. It makes me happy to help people out.
