Volunteering is a team activity for Jim and Marcia Davis. The couple works with students in grades one through five at Rock Springs Elementary School every week. They listen to students read, help them catch up on assignments, play math games, and have even been known to help out with bake sales.
Marcia began volunteering in 1999. Then in 2001, Jim decided to join the fun. The kids have been welcoming “Team Davis” with hugs and cheery greetings ever since. We salute Jim and Marcia for energizing and motivating the students at Rock Springs School.
We all have the energy that can make a difference. The personal energy of volunteering touches lives and enriches our communities.
In 1972, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Senator Robert Taft Jr. and Sam Beard founded the American Institute for Public Service. Their mission: to encourage individuals for their achievements and contributions through public and community service. By recognizing the work of volunteers through the Jefferson Awards, the Institute believes in can encourage others to get involved in their communities, and to discover inspiration in ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Each of our Hometown Heroes will receive a bronze Jefferson Awards medal for public service. And each year, one Hometown Hero will be chosen to travel to Washington, D.C., where their selfless devotion to public service will be recognized at the Jefferson Awards National Ceremony.
