Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week to Cassie! She assists Jeremy at the Moorhead Adult Education Clay County Correctional Facility site in the GED classroom. In the past year, Cassie has gone above and beyond in engaging in countless trainings to better support our students in achieving their GED diplomas. Thank you, Cassie!
Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week to Anna! She has returned to volunteering at Moorhead Adult Education this school year after first coming to the program as part of a college class requirement in 2021. One of the things that Anna enjoys most about volunteering in the ESL 4-6 class is meeting so many different people and leading group discussions. She states that the students have taught her that even when learning is hard, it can be fun! One of the things that Anna loves about the environment at ABE is how the students are so quick to help each other learn and grow. Thank you, Anna!
Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week to Susan! She has been exploring a variety of art mediums with Moorhead Adult Education students over the years. This voluntary art experience opportunity provides students a relaxing ambiance filled with natural light, calming music, and a chance to express their creative side. It is a safe space for the most beginning level student up to those who have had formal art instruction. Thank you, Susan!
Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week to Cindy! She has been coming to Moorhead Adult Education a few days per week over the past 3 years and assists in the ESL 1-6 classrooms. Cindy loves sharing the joy when a student understands something new in English or has learned to express themselves in the English language. She says that the students have taught her that the world is a really small place and that she feels privileged to live in the United States with many freedoms and opportunities that others don't have. Thank you, Cindy!
Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week to Samantha! She works with the evening ESL 1-3 students in Kylie's class. Samantha came to the program because she was inspired by the work that she saw happening with her coworkers' clients who were enrolled at Moorhead Adult Education. One of the big takeaways for her is that the students have taught her a lot about different cultures and she has been able to bridge that knowledge into her work life as well. Samantha loves working with pre-literate students because they learn so much so quickly. Thank you, Samantha!
Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week to Lisa! She works primarily with the ESL 1-3 classes and was referred to the program by her daughter that volunteered as part of a course requirement in college. Lisa admires how determined the students are in all that they do. She shares that the students have demonstrated to her how important determination, resilience, positive thinking and goal-setting are to improving their lives. Thank you, Lisa!
Congratulations, Natalia! You worked hard and achieved your GED diploma goal. We are proud of you and will continue to support you as you transition to your next chapter.
