Today’s Marvelous Monday is the story of one of our
volunteers. Many volunteers in the classroom are students at the University of
Minnesota – just down the street from the RMH. These are such special young
people who look outside of themselves to serve others. College is a very busy time. There is so much
to balance and attend to as a young adult. We are always amazed and grateful
for the college students who carve out time for families in need. But, as Liz
says, “The giving goes both ways.”
Liz has been a volunteer at the RMH since 2010, primarily
in the classroom. Before she shares her thoughts about her time spent with us,
let us share a bit about the many ways she supports our families…
“I have been a volunteer in the classroom since 2010.
Working with kids of all ages and ethnicities challenges me to adapt to many
different types of learning styles. Although I'm now in college, the favorite
part of my week is having the opportunity to transport myself back to
elementary school to re-discover the pure joy in getting a multiplication fact
correct or scoring a goal at recess. Listening to the positrations and the
enlightening and imaginative conversations that take place among the students always
leaves a smile plastered to my face as I walk out door and on to my own
classes. I'm very proud to serve in the RMH classroom every week!”
