September Volunteer of the Month
Congratulations to our September Volunteer of the Month, Jennifer Hetrick!
Each month the teachers nominate volunteers for making a difference in their classroom and/or around the school. Thank you to Jennifer for her dedication and hard work as BEST Book Fair Chair the past two years. The Book Fairs are very important to the Knowledge Center, as well as the Summit community. We appreciate the planning and time Jennifer gives to make these events a great success! As part of celebrating Jennifer this month, she gets sole use of the Volunteer of the Month parking spot, located alongside the MPR, for the entire month of September. You are a rock star, Jennifer!
