February Volunteer of the Month
One of our outstanding community members and Volunteer of Month is Diane Owings. Diane is a retired teacher from New Jersey and although her children are grown, she has never lost her passion for education. She lives close by Pleasant Grove and regularly volunteers.
Diane can be found in the art room and media center. She takes the time to precisely cut and measure the hundreds of pieces of paper needed for our students' amazing artwork. She assists in the media center shelving books the students have returned. She has also chaperoned the NC Art Museum field trip with the third graders (which is a wonderful educational field trip for both students and chaperones, hint, hint!). Diane is glad to help out at the school whenever we have a volunteer spot open that cannot be filled. Diane is an inspiration to us to never stop caring and volunteering in our community!
Here are some of the wonderful things being said about Diane in the PGES hallways:
“Diane loves to serve! If you can’t find her at PGES she’s helping a friend or someone in her community! Her favorite thing to do is read to our students but you will also find her helping weekly in our art room and media center! She’s helped with fitness testing and is always willing to help where needed! Thank you, Diane for showing our students the value of giving time to your community with a smiling face and a happy heart!” - Alaina Casey (PGES parent and PTA Board Member)
"Congratulations to Diane Owings for all her volunteer work for our students and staff here at PGES. It is such a pleasure to have Diane volunteer in the art room. I so appreciate her with prepping, assisting the students, and more. Thank you for all that you do. You truly are appreciated!" - Mrs. Marshallsea (PGES Visual Arts Educator)
