Happy Administrative Professionals' Day / Week 2021

Submitted by shelley.heaton on

We all know that it takes many people to run a school, and some of those people are the secretaries or the correct term, the Administrative Professionals.

 We would like to take time out to thank three of those people who help make our school what it is today.

At most schools, the secretary is a key player in communicating with parents and community members about what's happening at school.

That is the case with these three as well.

Students are helping lay concrete, tying rebar, framing, and maintaining the construction site.
