Chapter Leadership
Natasha Myers
Natasha is the Chapter Liaison for the Care to Learn - Greenfield Chapter. She also serves as the Nurse for the Greenfield R-IV School District. Natasha recently celebrated serving 5+ years as a Chapter Liaison with Care to Learn.
As a Liaison for the Gainesville Chapter, Natasha works within the Greenfield R-IV School District to ensure student’s basic needs are being met and to raise funds to ensure Care to Learn – Greenfield continues its mission.
“We had a student who was having difficulty sleeping and would come in my office to sleep every day around 10am. Come to find out, she didn't have a bed and was too uncomfortable to sleep. We bought her a bed that day and had it delivered. The first day she came to school after having her new bed, she came up to me and gave me a hug. She said ‘I never knew what it was like to sleep like that!’ There's been so many memories/moments like this with Care to Learn, but for some reason, that one got me. We take for granted that everyone has the luxury of sleeping in a bed at night and that's just not the case.” -Natasha
