Grandma Ruby Brings Heart to the Classroom 

by Lindsey May | Oct 21, 2024 | Email Newsletter Articles, News Articles

“I absolutely love working with Grandma Ruby in our kindergarten classroom. She’s such a wonderful help to me and the children, always bringing warmth, patience, and a kind heart to everything she does. We’re so lucky to have her!” 

-Ms. Duckwitz at Mendenhall Elementary 

Grandma Ruby is one of those folks who makes the world feel a little brighter. As one of our Classroom Grandparents, she’s been spreading love, helping children learn to read, and lending a helping hand at Mendenhall Elementary, and the impact she’s having is truly special. The children she tutors feel supported and are becoming more confident learners. But here’s the thing – the kids aren’t the only ones benefiting from it. Volunteering brings Grandma Ruby joy, keeps her active, and gives her a sense of purpose. It’s truly a win-win! 

Now here’s where you come in – we need more folks like Grandma Ruby! Schools like Oak Grove, Mendenhall, and Seminole Elementary are ready to welcome their very own Classroom Grandparents. If you’re 55+ and have the loving heart of a grandparent, this is the perfect way to make a difference in a child’s life (and yours too!). 

So, how about it? Join our team of Classroom Grandparents and help make a world of difference! Click the button below or contact us today at FGP@SeniorsinService.org or (813) 492-8926.
