They help us before school starts."Students benefit directly by way of classroom interaction, such as when the volunteers read to them.

"Last year, we had over 20,000 approved volunteers in our system."Wilson said she is grateful to be one in that number this year and plans to do so for years to come."You try to make everything fun," Wilson said.Fun for students, fun for staff, and fun for Courtney Wilson, our Everyday Hero.</div></body>
