There were tears of joy when Janelle McGregor from the City of Tampa Mayor’s Office announced each Classroom Grandparent would be given $100 in Tampa Kind Dash Dollars as a back-to-school gift to recognize the value each “Grandparent” brings to the classroom.
These volunteers do more than help children learn to read—they provide guidance, stability, and a warm, loving presence in the classroom. Thank you Mayor Castor for this wonderful reminder of how deeply valued their contributions are in our community.
