Celebration Story From Melissa VandenHoek

Recently the Jenison Public Schools Board of Education recognized and honored Kids Hope USA for the impact it has made at Bauerwood Elementary School. They recognized one of our terrific mentors, Myra VanMersbergen. Myra was nominated by her Kids Hope USA student, Nicole, and Mrs. Chatfield for volunteering. Myra was recognized for the commitment she has made in being a Kids Hope USA mentor, as well as being a key helper at school. As I went in support of Myra, I felt the Spirit wash over me as I witnessed what a close relationship Myra and Nicole share. Kids Hope USA could not exist and flourish in our community without dedicated volunteers. I cannot say enough what an honor it is for me to know each mentor, the awesome kids, the staff at Bauerwood Elementary School, and everyone who makes Kids Hope USA happen. Praise to our awesome God!
