Foster Grandparenting! Grandpa Si has a new "gig" at our local elementary school! When my dad said he was looking into becoming a Foster Grandparent for our county I thought "that will be perfect for him". He has been having a great time listening to stories and reading to the kids out at school for a few hours each week. He enjoys helping the children with homework and taking an interest in their lives.

I have heard some great comments from some of the elementary teachers that they so enjoy having my dad there to help with the kids where it's needed. I think he is having a ball. He has mentioned how different the little ones are than when he was their age. "They are so smart these days!" he'll chuckle. Thanks, Grandpa Si for giving of your time and talents to help the kids at West Lyon and Central Lyon School! What a great way to serve others!
