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!
