Volunteer of the Month (November 2007)

Guilford County Schools Announce Keven Cockrell as November Volunteer of the Month

Keven Cockrell has been a volunteer at Southeast High for two years and involved in the Southeast community for the past 10 years. She has volunteered at the elementary, middle and high school level as well as serving as Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) president at each school where she volunteered. Keven wears many hats, not the least of which is her position as the current PTSA president for Southeast High. She does whatever is necessary to make the school run efficiently whether it is making Diversity Day banners, organizing staff appreciation functions, running errands, staffing the copy lab, organizing special events or delivering baked goods to teachers. From the beginning to the end of day when she holds the school’s doors open for students as they go home, Cockrell is a constant presence. Because of her day-in-and-day-out dedication to education and volunteerism, Cockrell has been selected as the November GCS Volunteer of the Month.

As Guilford County Schools’ Volunteer of the Month, Cockrell will receive a certificate of appreciation from the Board of Education and Superintendent Terry Grier. She will also receive a $25 gift card from American Express. Cockrell’s photo will hang on a plaque at her school during the month of November. Remember to watch for the Volunteer of the Month on GCSTV 2.
