GrandPals is A Wonderful Program
Bob Swierczek • April 06, 2026
Bob Swierczek, a United States Navy veteran, resides in Princeton, where he selflessly dedicates his time to various volunteer roles. He serves as a crossing guard for the police department, assists as fire police for the fire department, reads to kindergarten classes, and organizes trips to Washington, D.C. for fellow veterans. “Every year that I read to the kindergarten classes it brings me joy listening to the comments from the kids on the books I read. Some of the rhyming books are fun to read and having the kids try and guess the last word that rhymes. It’s very rewarding to see the kids progress throughout the year and their interest increasing on reading. GrandPals is a wonderful program for both the adults and the children.”
