What Would We Do Without Our Secretaries?!
Today, we're shouting from the rooftops (or at least the hallways!) for Mrs. Demoss and Mrs. Giles! These two remarkable ladies are the heart of our school, the friendly faces who greet every day with kindness and efficiency.
Their dedication to our students, staff, and families is truly unparalleled. They make sure everything runs smoothly, even when the days get a little crazy (like when secretary day falls on our PreK-2nd field day!). They handle the logistics, answer countless questions, and solve problems with grace and a positive attitude.
Thank you, Mrs. Demoss and Mrs. Giles, for all you do! We don't know what we'd do without you!
Happy School Secretary Appreciation Day!
