For the past 5 years, these ladies have been working with 1st & 2nd grade children at Addams Elementary with children who are struggling with letter sounds or just need a little extra help getting caught up with the rest of their class. They are making an impact in the lives of these kids!  Most (not all) are retired teachers who are doing what their “teacher hearts” love to do . . . help kids learn!

LEADING WITH YOUR HEART
Carrol McCrumb came up with the idea for this group after she retired. She had the desire to continue teaching but just didn’t have the ability to be on her feet all day – every day.  So she came up with a plan, gathered 4 other ladies and created a reading intervention group with each lady volunteering one morning a week.

Carrol said, “I’m doing this is because we all need to serve the Lord.  God gave me the gift of teaching and knows I can still do it in a small giving way.  He equipped me with the gift of organizing and sharing what I know about children and how they learn. He can still use me.”

Carrol concluded by saying that anyone who has a passion for children can do this and make a difference in their lives. “These children not only need to learn their letter sounds and begin to read, but they need love! We fall in love with the children, and to see them learn and bloom is a joy for us.”

LITERACY MENTORS WANTED!
Children who know how to read are on a path to a brighter future. Together we can make an impact. We also have the opportunity to let these kids know they are loved and valued, important to us, and to this world we live in. These kids are our next generation of leaders – well worth investing in!
