Foster Grandparents Bridging the Generation Gap to Help Students

Keith Vernon

Foster Grandparents - Ithaca, Gratiot County

Grandpa Keith Vernon is almost like one of the students at Ithaca Junior High School.  He has a special relationship with the students.  Grandpa Keith helps guide teens.....who sometimes just need someone they can talk to.  Many teens are getting help from family they never knew they had.  Grandpa Keith is the real thing.
