Volunteer Spotlight:
Edie Jauregui
Edie Jauregui is a volunteer at Peterson Elementary.  She's been a volunteer for two years. The office staff says Edie always goes above and beyond taking care of not only her son's Kindergarten classroom, but the whole team.  She is one of those people who loves to do it and be under the radar.   
 
"The biggest motivation for me to becoming a volunteer for NISD is my son," Jauregui said.  "I want to be able to help his school, and work as a team to make sure he, along with the rest of the students, have the best learning environment and tools possible.  The thing I like most about volunteering at Peterson are the children and getting to be part of their world.  When a first grader tells you he is thankful for you just being here and being present is the best feeling in the world.  I would not be able to do this without the welcoming and friendliness of everyone that works at Peterson.  I feel so welcomed upon entering the school, and it is as though everyone is appreciative of the time I take to volunteer.  I consider everyone at Peterson as an extension of my family."
