Sweet Moment at Princeton Community Event
Cameron
We’re excited to share a sweet moment from our recent Princeton community event that truly captures the spirit of our GrandPals program. At our table, we displayed our new GrandPals flyer, featuring a photo of one of our cherished pairs.
During the event, a family stopped by, and the little boy’s mom pointed at the flyer with excitement. “Cameron, look, this is you!” she exclaimed. The look on Cameron’s face was unforgettable — his smile was pure joy! The family was so thrilled that they took the flyer with them to show all of Cameron’s friends. We were able to capture this touching moment on camera, and Cameron and his parents happily posed together.
It’s moments like these that remind us of the impact our GrandPals program has on both our young readers and their GrandPals. We’re delighted to share this story with our GrandPals community, and we can’t wait to see even more smiles as we continue our work together.
Thank you for being a part of this special journey.
