“Margaret Shoesmith”
VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH
March

Smithson Public School is currently in their third year of operation.  They serve between 15-30 students, five days a week.  Not only do they serve a sit down Breakfast, they also prepare in-class Breakfast bags for those students who are bused to school.  Smithson is currently going through a leadership transition and Margaret Shoesmith has been extremely instrumental through this process.  She has taken on a great leadership role to make sure students are fed each morning.  Through Margret’s strong leadership and mentoring to other volunteers they have been very successful.   Margaret donates many hours each week – preparing, serving breakfast, purchasing groceries and managing the volunteer schedule.  Margaret has taken steps to enhance the menu selection by meeting with our student Dietetic Technician. Margaret, you are without a doubt making a difference at Smithson Public School. On behalf of the students, volunteers and school staff, I thank you for your continuous hard work and dedication to this program.  (Carolyn Graham – Principal – Smithson P.S)
