FGP Volunteer of 8 years becomes an important part of the classroom she is in

Ruth Todd

Foster Grandparents - Coldwater, MI

"Grandma Ruth is such a wonderful addition to our classroom! We all love her to pieces! When her 75th birthday came around I was asking the children how old they thought Grandma was. One little girl said, "Gosh, Grandma is at least 14!!" I had a good chuckle over that. Just recently when Grandma was gone for several days and I told the children that she would be back tomorrow they were whooping and hollering. When she walked into the room, they all ran to her giving hugs and "I Missed You!" It was sweet to see what an important part of our classroom grandma has become." -Tammey Sylvester, Branch County ISD Head Start Teacher
