Volunteer Spotlight:
Great-Grandparent Shirley Politz
"I'm having the most fun of my life here at Heilicher!" Shirley says. "People tell me I'm so lucky to be here, and I agree."
At age 87, Heilicher great grandparent Shirley Politz is not even beginning to slow down. Shirley is a valued presence in the Heilicher dining room every Tuesday and Thursday, where she has worked as a cashier for the past year and a half.
Prior to "retiring" at age 86, Shirley worked in accounts receivable and collections. She found that retirement didn't suit her, however, and two of her granddaughters (Heilicher parents Ronit Falck and Danya Kornblum) helped identify an opportunity for her to share her energy and outgoing personality with Heilicher. Shirley is thrilled to have two great-grandchildren currently at the school and looks forward to having more great-grandchildren
enrolled here in the future.
When asked what she likes best about Heilicher, Shirley responds, " All
the kids are my friends! I like to walk around the dining room and get to know them. Many of them come up and talk to me. These kids are so fortunate to be here."
