 As a teacher, having a foster grandparent in my room, it enables me to have an extra set of hands. Foster grandparents are role models, tutors, and friends to children with exceptional needs. It's been fantastic having Grandma Freddie in our room. It is the best feeling in the world. I'm a bad student because of her. To learn more about how to become a foster grandparent and help children in need, call 1-800-942-2677 or visit Senior Corps at nationalservice.gov.
