We are so happy to announce that Mrs. Carolyn Stamm is our 2018
-2019 Three Oaks Vol-
unteer of the Year!
Mrs. Stamm is a truly
positive, giving person
and Three Oaks is so
thankful for all of her
volunteer efforts! Mrs.
Stamm is a retired Vir-
ginia Beach educator, so
she understands how
hard teachers work and
always finds time to
lend a hand. She consist-
ently assists her grand-
son’s 2nd grade teacher,
Mrs. Strack, with different activities that benefit the entire class. She
reads one-on-one each week with students, cheering them on and
making them feel successful. This has truly helped with their pro-
gress and achievement. Mrs. Stamm volunteers for every class party
and event, including running a Pumpkin Science station at Hallow-
een. She even works from home to help Mrs. Strack with organizing
everything from monthly book orders to reading conference fold-
ers. Three Oaks is also thankful for Mrs. Stamm’s help filing Tuesday
folders each week, along with volunteering to help at our Book Fair
and Country Fair.
We congratulate Mrs. Stamm and the next time you see her in the
classroom, hallway or cafeteria, we encourage you to thank her for
all that she does to help our school!
