Guilford County Schools Announce Page Kreager as January Volunteer of the Month

Lifelong learner for volunteerism, initiator, researcher and “Jane of all trades” are some of the names attributed to Page Kreager. She is everyone’s hero at Erwin Montessori where she is always behind the scenes making sure the school runs at full capacity.  She created and kicked off Erwin’s first book swap to ensure that children have an ongoing source of free or inexpensive source of reading materials. Additionally, Page is the chairperson of the PTA membership committee, serves in the media center, assists with class projects, field trips, staff appreciation functions, tutors and much more.  She recently started a new lunch program where parents relieve teachers from lunch duty. The teacher that nominated her said Page’s focus is on children. She always asks, “Where in this village can I make a difference for children? ”

Because of her devotion to volunteerism and constant support of students, parents and faculty, Page is the January GCS Volunteer of the Month.

As the GCS Volunteer of the Month, Page will receive a certificate of appreciation from the Board of Education and Superintendent Terry Grier. She will also receive a $25 gift card from American Express. Page’s photo will hang on a plaque at her school during the month of January.  Remember to watch for the Volunteer of the Month on GCSTV 2.
