Sue Popham and Cody
Sue and Cody volunteer weekly at a Retirement and Thereapy center along with spending time at Brookview School with the R.E.A.D. program.
Comments from Brookview school official:
Sue and Cody have been a wonderful inspiration to our students' lives. They have an amazing impact on their confidence. They not only impact their lives educationally, but emotionally as well. I have seen students when they are having a bad day and they see Sue and Cody , their faces light up, their confidence shines and they want to show them what they are reading or learning. Their timid behavior disappears in an instance.
In addition to the D.O.G. Team Award, Sue has earned the President’s Volunteer Service Bronze Award. *
