Fourth graders learn to "pay it forward"

Jodi Goodman with studentsOn June 20, fourth grade students were visited by Jodi Goodman, Catskill Regional Medical Center’s (CRMC) Director of Community Services and Sullivan County Legislator.

Goodman taught the children about local government and discussed her responsibilities at CRMC. She introduced the concept of “pay it forward” to the children.

The children learned the importance of volunteerism and helping others in our community. They  listened very carefully to their guest and most said that they will try to “pay it forward” to help others.
