National Service in Wisconsin

"Wow! What a week I had traveling around in Green Bay where I visited Foster Grandparents at the Encompass Childcare Centers. First, I visited Grandpa Mike in the 3-year-old room and helped him celebrate his birthday with a large cookie; then, I traveled to the Rosebush Center and visited the preschool classroom and their stuffed animal mascots... Continued on to the 3-4 year old classrooms to help put puzzles together. I went on to the Cornerstone Center where the Foster Grandparents had a small group in-service. After that, I even got to take a walk with the 3-year-old classroom (the teacher let me ride in her backpack so the kids could keep an eye on me!) Then... I helped to welcome back a Foster Grandparent who had been on vacation. The kids and teachers really missed her! Now on my way to our state capitol. I'm sure the Foster Grandparents and kids will miss me, too!" -Corey ServieBadger

"Dear Servie, Thank you for visiting the Spooner Area School District! The children just loved having you help with nutrition lessons on seeds/distinctions and planting tomato seeds with the Spooner Mayor during our Mayors Day of Recognition of National Service. It was hard to find you at first, but then it was hard to let you leave. The third grade loved it when you showed them how well their pepper plants are growing here at the Spooner School District's AmeriCorps Farm to School program. Bon Voyage!
