Chapter Leadership
Natalie Cook
Natalie is the Chapter Liaison for the Care to Learn - Hartville Chapter. She also serves as the Nurse for the Counselor for the Hartville R-II School District.
As a Liaison for the Hartville Chapter, Natalie works within the Hartville R-II School District to ensure student’s basic needs are being met and to raise funds to ensure Care to Learn – Hartville continues its mission.
Natalie loves Care to Learn. When asked a notable memory, she said, “When a student smiles because they can see to read their books, or they have a complete outfit for school picture day, or they aren't nervous anymore about asking for help when the laundry isn't getting done at home. It’s hard to pick just one.”
