#6 Meet Grandpa Rodger 👋
If you’ve ever wandered upstairs in the K-5 main building, just to the right at the top of the steps, you might notice a cozy little corner. That’s where you’ll find Grandpa Rodger, our very own foster grandparent, spending time with K-3 students twice a week. For the kids, it feels like playtime. For Grandpa Rodger, it’s the best part of his week ❤️.
At 92 years young 🎉, Grandpa Rodger is part of the Foster Grandparent Program, a federally funded AmeriCorps Seniors initiative that connects older adults with schools to mentor and tutor young learners. He first joined our school in 2011, after seeing an ad in the newspaper, and his wife, Joanne, encouraged him to give it a try. Since then, he’s become one of the most familiar and beloved faces on campus—bringing laughter, creativity, and encouragement to our youngest learners.
Students especially love the games he creates, from homemade board games to Name Bingo cards made just for their class. They treasure the bookmarks he draws and light up when he makes them laugh. But what Grandpa Rodger enjoys most is seeing the magical “aha!” moment 💡 on a child’s face when something new suddenly clicks.
One of his greatest joys happens outside of school, when former students spot him around town . Whether at the grocery store or on the sidewalk, kids—sometimes ones he first met over a decade ago—still excitedly call out, “Grandpa Rodger!”
He often says he couldn’t have picked a better place to spend the last two decades of his life: “It’s a whole lot of really nice kids. A great place to be.”
And we couldn’t agree more 💙.
