Kathy Ross is a WUL Hometown Hero, and has been nominated by Suzanne Chenoweth at Lincoln Elementary School and by Fairhaven “For all she does for our community at Lincoln Elementary School, Whitewater Middle School and Fairhaven.”
Suzanne Chenoweth says, “She helps sort through old and new books, reshelves them, boxes them, or finds new homes for them. She is a joy to be around. We enjoy her southern accent and sharing books we’ve read. The Lincoln reading team would be LOST without her help. She also helps with other areas of need at our school, selflessly giving of her time. We appreciate her immensely at Lincoln Elementary School. She also keeps many of the Little Free Libraries in town stocked with books. And, Kathy volunteers her time at the middle school library as needed.”
Fairhaven shares, “While the list of what Kathy volunteers with/for is too long to write up, the one thing we can say about her is that she gives her HEART to anything and everything. Kathy provides countless hours each week helping on projects, tasks and social visits that not only impact the staff but also that of the residents. Her care, compassion and energy is like none other and we are so grateful to have Kathy as a member of the Fairhaven Family.”
Kathy is also a dedicated volunteer at Prairie Village, the Whitewater Public Library and the Whitewater Senior Center.
WUL (Whitewater Unites Lives) is a locally-focused civil and human rights group that works to connect the people in our community and to create opportunities for all people to learn and support each other in our common humanity.
