Jenna Fischman: Volunteer All-Star!
Hooray for volunteer Jenna Fischman! She has agreed to be the site leader for Oakton Elementary’s Open Books Buddies program in Evanston. At first, I led our Buddies sites. Then, as we grew, interns stepped up to help me. Now that we have 10 sites for the program, we need stellar volunteers like Jenna to help run the show. Thanks so much, Jenna! Welcome to the site leader team!
