Mrs. Springfield USOA 2021. Be the change, be a volunteer has been a lifelong passion of mine . Having been born an orphan back in the 60’s, I went through foster care as well as the adoption process here in the United States. Though I felt as an outsider looking in most of my life since I was placed with a family who had biologically born children in the family, I nevertheless, feel blessed that I had a roof over my head and food to eat. Having a family of my own is of high importance to me. Being able to overcome the diagnosis of infertility due to cancer cells within my reproductive organs, my husband Bruce and I were ecstatic to welcome the birth of our daughter in 2006. Feeling as if my life is bountiful I give back to others by serving as a volunteer for numerous organizations and helping orphans in need. We have personally provided and delivered care packages and supplies to orphans in Mexico and Africa. I feel that providing personal attention in the form of a party for the orphans is integral to providing hope for children to see that others do care. I am thrilled to be married to the man of my dreams, a mother to my miracle child and the referee to our two black labs.
Race to Read Program

The Race to Read Program is such a great learning tool.  Each year, the kids, staff and parents of Elk Creek Elementary participate/volunteer for this wonderful program.  My daughter was struggling with her desire to read and this program not only gave her a new found appreciation (and skill level) for reading, but encouraged her to go for top honors.  She represented Elk Creek at the finale of the program having her name displayed on the illuminated banner at Bandimere Speedway during the Night of Fire and Thunder Races.  This type of encouragement as well as coupons, certificates and gifts led the children to new goals in reading.  I guess an earned bookmark is more encouraging than any mother (ie me).  Whatever it takes!  I'm definitely a proponent of this program.  Volunteerism starts at home and working with her and other children to develop better skills and an appreciation for reading was a rewarding accomplishment for all.  Way to go Tiffany and everyone who participated in the program!  To learn more about Race to Read, please click on the following link:
