The 57th Annual Foster Grandparents Recognition luncheon’s theme this year is “57 Years In A Flash. Life is like a camera. Focus on what’s important. Capture the good times. Develop from the negatives. And if things don’t turn out, just take another shot.”
When Nebo’s 15 loving grandparent volunteers share their love, time, and experience; they have the power to influence and help children in need. Foster Grandparents are role models, mentors, and friends. Nebo School District is certainly better for the many hours spent in the Foster Grandparent Program.
