Volunteer Spotlight: Kyrsten Costa
I volunteer every Wednesday in my son's kindergarten class, and helped out this year with the book fair and STEM night.
Why did you decide to volunteer at Centerville?
It's my way of giving back and supporting the school and teachers that have done so much for my son's growth and development. Plus, it's a unique opportunity to get a firsthand glimpse into the classroom dynamics.
What is your favorite part about volunteering?
I enjoy building connections with the teachers, staff, and fellow volunteers. It is neat to witness the kid's genuine engagement and excitement in learning.
