Chapter Leadership
Redenna Lansdown
Redenna is the Chapter Liaison for the Care to Learn - Seymour Chapter. She also serves as the Lead School Nurse for the Seymour R-II School District.
As a Liaison for the Seymour Chapter, Redenna works within the Seymour R-II School District to ensure student’s basic needs are being met and to raise funds to ensure Care to Learn – Seymour continues its mission.
Redenna is a huge advocate of Care to Learn and sees first hand the impact it can provide. She says, “To me, Care to Learn means that a child will be able to get glasses to see, an inhaler to breath, and have some food on the weekend they can eat with no dental pain. It also means they will feel confident in clean clothes that don't have tears and that don't smell. Maybe Care to Learn also means students can be the best they can be now to be who are they are meant to be in the future”.
