Volunteer of the Month (March 2007)

Guilford County Schools Announce Mary Chase as First-Ever Volunteer of the Month

Mary Chase began volunteering at Southeast Middle when her daughter was a student at the school. Now several years later, you can still find Chase at the school two or three days a week giving students positive reinforcement and one-on-one attention. According to the teacher who nominated her, Chase has become a part of the “Southeast family” and the “students love and respect her.” Because of her years of outstanding service, her commitment to the betterment of all students and the way in which she impacts the lives of everyone she meets, Chase has been selected as the March GCS Volunteer of the Month.
