Thank you Vero & Abby! 💜💛

We appreciate our school administrative assistants. Not only do they do data entry, scheduling, answering phones, distributing mail, and maintaining school records, they are our community greeters, substitute nurses, substitute caregivers, teacher counselors, and so much more! They are the glue that holds our schools together.
