HOMETOWN HERO
BY MARYANN KETCHAM
|
|
As the campus mentor of the First Priority Club at Renaissance Charter School at Tradition, Karen Cottin relishes her role of training public school student leaders by equipping them with the Gospel and sharing the message of Christ.
Typically, anywhere between 40-60 students attend the weekly lunchtime meetings each Tuesday. Since “typical” is no longer the norm, Cottin must now mentor Club students via Zoom.
"We find ways in which we can serve our neighbors," she said. "Sometimes, that is loving on teachers, admin, or staff. Other times it may be families in need."
|
|
At this time of crisis, Cottin's Club is 'loving on' the frontline staff of Treasure Coast Hospice. Cards, posters, and goodie bags expressing thanks and encouragement were created at home, picked up porch side, and delivered to Hospice for distribution.
One thing's for sure in these uncertain times, there's a whole lot of loving going on.
