Meet Grandma Joan


Grandma Joan, as she is widely known amongst my friends and their children (now in their teens and 20s), has been and is planning to continue volunteering in our classroom once a week.  Years ago she taught 1st grade and continues to enjoy working with young children.  She lives in the area and has raised three children of her own (me being the youngest of the three).  She is an active community member and part of the Lions Club and PEO (a women's organization that supports women's education).
