Foster Grandma Adds Much to Elementary Classrooms
Long Lake Central School has been enjoying a partnership with The Foster Grandparent Program and has embraced the contributions of Foster Grandparent Nadine Jennings, or "Grandma Nadine" as the students call her.
Mrs. Jennings, pictured above with 2nd grade students, is at the school throughout the week and spends her time in the elementary classrooms.
"This is a wonderful program for everyone involved. Our district is fortunate to have Kami Farr coordinating the program and to have Nadine Jennings volunteering her time to be a part of it," says Acting Principal/Superintendent Noelle Short.
"The students have quickly developed a bond with Mrs. Jennings as a grandparent figure provided to them in the educational setting," says Mrs. Farr. "In addition to working in the classrooms, Mrs. Jennings often enjoys lunch alongside our early elementary students and models appropriate table manners and lunch table conversation."
