After 40 years classmates are reunited through Foster Grandparent Program
Published: April 25, 2007
Sara Reynolds and Rebecca Copeland-Rowland were classmates at Lucy Addison High School in the mid 1960s.
Although both still live in Roanoke, they had not seen each other since high school. That changed one day in early November.
Both Reynolds and Copeland-Rowland had applied for volunteer positions with the League of Older American’s Foster Grandparent program. Sitting next to each other during their orientation to the program they had a chance to visit and realized they knew each other.
After a nice reunion catching up on old times, they are both currently volunteering, Reynolds is volunteering at the Downtown Learning Center and Copeland-Rowland at Brand-Hardin-Sims Head Start Child Development Center.
LOA’s Foster Grandparents volunteer at non-profit child care centers, public schools and Head Start Centers helping children develop the skills, confidence and strength to succeed in life.
