September was busy for the FRC with an abundance of activities. We started our tutoring program, kicked off more afterschool activities, gathered clothes for our clothing drive, provided vision and hearing screenings, gave away clothes on a beautiful, sunshiny Saturday, and held our parenting classes for the last 4 weeks.
The FRC and Youth Service Center thank the following:
All who donated clothes
Lisa Geno and Patty Bayer
The 39 families who attended our parenting classes
Our 20 tutors and afterschool activity leaders
Sherry Broderick for teaching a lesson to the younger children at the parenting class
Brandon Terrell who taught about CPR and Safety to our parents
Pam Scudder and Brenda Alexander who talked to our parents about how to help their children with the homework
Dianne Coleman and Sarah Oaks for sharing health information with parents
Debbie Harsin for helping with the internet safety class
The Lower Elementary Custodial staff for being patient with us on Tuesday nights
Rhonda Glacken, Pat and Tony Callan, Geralyn Mullins, and Danny Flowers who provided childcare during parenting class.
Lucy Deaton for preparing awesome meals (especially the turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans and gravy)
Brian Brentlinger and Kerry Tackett are a part of our staff, but I want to thank them for going above and beyond what’s expected of them.
You are blessings to our families and me!
