"Kathy has been such a wonderful support in our classroom this year. We have been able to share her in the two 5th grade classrooms every Friday. She is always so flexible and willing to help however needed. Kathy always has a smile on her face and words of encouragement. We have grown to become good friends, and I would be honored to have her back next school year."

This is what one of the teachers shared about her experience with our On Board for Teachers Community Group volunteers. Seven of us (5 from Spectrum; 2 from other churches) are spending a few hours one or two days each week at Culverdale Elementary in Irvine. We are a group centered on Jesus and united on mission to bless teachers for the vital role they play in the lives of children and families.

It has been such an amazing experience for us to live out the mission of Spectrum Church in these elementary classrooms, and heartwarming to know the impact we are having on the teachers. Another teacher commented, "Karen has been more than willing to help with anything this year. She is so wonderful with my kiddos, and they all love her. This time is so amazing and helps both my students and me. She is another loving figure for the students, and they crave her attention."

If you have a heart for teachers and a few hours each week to spare on a fairly regular basis, we would love to talk with you about joining our Community Group. And please join us in praying for teachers everywhere as they make a lasting difference for generations to come.
