PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT

FOSTER GRANDPARENT PROGRAM

.

“Let us remember: One book,

one pen, one child and one teach-

er can change the world.” Malala Yousafzai

To the above quote from the young Pakistani

woman who became the youngest Nobel

Prize winner ever in 2014, I know we could

add the words “one Foster Grandparent.”

Our Foster Grandparents are changing the

lives of the children they work with every

day, and thereby changing the world! The

care they give to their students, and the

knowledge they share with them are both

life altering contributions to the children in

our Toledo Public Schools and at the

Catholic Club’s Infant and Children’s

Programs.

Here’s what one program director had to say

about her program:

Foster Grandparents are a powerful force to

improve educational outcomes. They also

serve as a constant, reliable presence for

children in need of positive adult role mod-

els. Connecting generations provides both

students and Foster Grandparents with a

chance to learn, share, and form a bond.

This program changes the lives of the chil-

dren involved. It also changes the lives of

the Foster Grandparents and the teachers

and staff who support them. This program is

about learning, but it’s also about service,

joy and connection.

I couldn’t have said it any better!

As our dedicated Foster Grandpar-

ents head back to school for yet

another year of world changing

influence through the love and

assistance they share with the

children they serve, I know you

will all join me in wishing them a

successful school year and in

saying THANK YOU to all of them

for their extraordinary service to

the children of our city!
