Katie Hollingsworth, Sundee Ware, Ron Pendleton, and Gaye Pendleton surrounded by a happy group of 3rd graders at Adams Elementary in Logan, UT. Ron and Gaye Pendleton have been volunteering at least once per week at Adams Elementary in Logan, UT for most of the 2016-2017 school year. Yesterday while Ron and Gaye were volunteering in their usual 3rd-grade classroom, they were surprised by being presented with the Lt. Governor's Volunteer Recognition Certificate by Rodney Pack, PSP's Senior and Community Volunteers Coordinator, Rikki Wheatley-Boxx, PSP's Director, Ms. Sundee Ware, Adams Elementary's Principal, and Katie Hollingsworth, Volunteer Coordinator at Adams Elementary.
Of the couple, Katie Hollingsworth said that, "They have been adopted into this school, and we call them Grandpa Ron and Grandma Gaye. They have definitely impacted the children here. They spend their time reading to students, bringing projects to work with the students, and spending time visiting with the students out on the playground. Grandpa Ron has been a mentor to a student in our school who has been struggling. He comes and eats lunch with Ron and has gotten to know him. Ron will bring books that he knows this student will be interested in. I wish that we had more people like Ron and Gaye who could come in and have such an impact on the entire school." It truly brings a smile to the faces of everyone here at PSP to know that good people like Ron and Gaye Pendleton are giving back to their community every day. THANK YOU for your service! The April, 2017 edition of the PSP Jotter is here! Featured in this issue is the annual Mayors, County Officials, and Tribal Leaders Day of Recognition for Volunteer and National Service (read below): Local Mayors and Officials Gather to Recognize Volunteers and National Service Members April is National Volunteer Month. To celebrate, PSP and the Cache Valley National Service Alliance hosted its annual Mayors, County Officials, and Tribal Leaders Day of Recognition for Volunteer and National Service on April 4th. Local officials from two counties participated in the event by signing a proclamation, declaring their support and appreciation for community volunteers and National Service program members. Several local officials – Cache County Council Chairman Greg Merrill, Cornish Mayor Joseph Hansen, Hyde Park City Council Member Sharidean Flint, and River Heights Mayor James Brackner – attended the event. Chairman Merrill and Mayor Hansen also spoke to those in attendance about the impact service has had on them and the communities where they serve. Also in attendance were National Service program directors, staff, and members from local AmeriCorps VISTA, AmeriCorps, National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC), Senior Corps RSVP, and Senior Corps Senior Companions programs. We wish to extend a very sincere thanks to all who joined us in recognizing and celebrating the invaluable work that volunteers and National Service members do in our community!
