The incredible BeAR volunteers regularly demonstrate what it means to serve, inspire, and share a little extra love wherever they go. Two dedicated Larrymore BeAR captains, for example, were recently spotted at Chesterfield Academy Elementary.
Larrymore captains Irene Bond and Leslie Wilson hadn’t gotten lost, they were right where they intended to be – hosting a teacher’s appreciation luncheon at Chesterfield with big smiles and warm hearts.
These consummate volunteers were pitching in as part of the Teachers Matter Ministry from their church, Mount Gilead Missionary Baptist Church, serving lunch to Chesterfield’s teachers and spreading joy and appreciation beyond the classroom walls. At Chesterfield Academy, Bond and Wilson spent the day reminding teachers how much they are appreciated and valued, whether it’s during a BeAR reading session or a heartfelt lunch gathering.
BeAR captains such as Bond and Wilson prove that these volunteers are always ready to make a difference and share their passion for supporting others. Whether at Larrymore, Chesterfield, or wherever their next adventure takes them, these champions of community spirit are much appreciated in the BeAR family and are an inspiration to all.
