Chapter Leadership
Christian Bertel
Christian is the Chapter Liaison for the Care to Learn - Hazelwood Chapter. She also serves as the Coordinator of Health Services for the Hazelwood School District.
As a Liaison for the Hazelwood Chapter, Christian works within the Hazelwood School District to ensure student’s basic needs are being met and to raise funds to ensure Care to Learn – Hazelwood continues its mission.
Christian loves Care to Learn. When what Care to Learn meant to her, she said, “Much. It has been a lifeline to many of our students and allowed parents to care for their children respectfully and quickly when they are low on hope. Care to Learn has allowed students who have dealt with uncertainty and fear to connect back into the school setting and know that they are not at this alone.”
