Hero

Meet this week's educational hero who's working hard to make ours a more colorful world.

Cathy Sperry

Riverside, CA



Cathy has been volunteering at Castle View Elementary School for 15 years despite the fact that she is living with multiple sclerosis and uses a wheelchair. When she started volunteering she could only move two fingers and was teaching reading. She now spends most of her time with the drama program she started.

"Drama builds a sense of school pride through a sense of community and responsibility. I help children discover themselves, give them confidence. And I feel very accomplished at 6th grade promotion when most of the students receiving academic awards are my drama students."
