Foster Grandparent Rosemary Younk Serves Students in Many New Ways

Grandma Rosemary Younk, a Foster Grandparent volunteer at Westwood Elementary School for the past 6 years, has found a way to continue her love of helping others. Circumstances this past year did not allow Grandma Rosemary to serve inside the first-grade classroom. Refusing to be defeated by barriers and working with the teacher, Grandma Rosemary continues to make an impact on the students. Pictured above you see her working on 30 Sight Word Readers for the class! While she looks forward to her return to the classroom, she is proud of the ways she continues to enhance the learning of the students.

The Foster Grandparent Program is looking for more adults 55+ to make an impact on children in the community. To learn more, please contact Sue Feliciano, Area Supervisor, at (320) 229-4589 or sue.feliciano@ccstcloud.org.
