Decorator extraordinaire is what our nominee should
be called! So is this REALLY important? It IS when you are the
secretary of a pre-k and need to keep little children occupied when their
parents come in about business. Miniature furniture, a huge dinosaur
bookshelf purchased and painted by her, appropriate toys and seasonal
decorations all combine to make a wonderful, happy and welcoming environment for
2, 3 and 4 year olds.
Upset parents on the phone? She can get to the bottom of a problem in a
short amount of time. Oftentimes it has nothing to do with the school. She
is like a detective and finds out the nitty-gritty and what is wrong.
Maybe they are out of baby formula and that is why they are stressed? She
manages to get it for them! Food problems? She finds who they need
to talk to! This is all because she has such a heart and she CARES!
Marquee signs are her specialty, too! Ever seen a boring marquee in front
of a school? That would NOT HAPPEN at our pre-k. She searches for
ways to make seasonal colors and decorations on the reader board so families are
enticed to read what it says. Parents don't have to wonder what is going
on at the school. They just read the board and know. Community
member even mention that they enjoy the board.
Last but certainly not least is the way that she treats little children.
When they enter the front office they think that they are the most special child
in the school. They are always welcomed just like the parents and are
always conversed with like they matter so much to her...because they DO!
The things mentioned above may sound so little but they make a BIG DIFFERENCE in
the climate of a school. She makes that difference happen!
