She even has her own bulletin board in which she highlights school news, nutritional information or even encouraging good-bye & good luck wishes to graduating classes. She leads the team at Brandywine Springs and has an excellent rapport with the teachers and administrators. But the #1 reason she should be employee of the month is that she is HUMBLE and glad to do all of these things to service our students in Red Clay!
