We may only have our all-staff meetings a few times a year, but we take them seriously! At our all-staff meeting today, our whole staff became CPR/first aid certified after having taken an extensive online course. We wrapped up the certification with training from our very own CPR-certified trainer, Lisa.
We are committed to engaging in regular professional development that will be useful in and out of the work environment.

A huge “CONGRATULATIONS” is in order!
Over the last few weeks, we have had numerous TEACH recipients graduate with either their Associate’s (10 graduates) or Bachelor’s degrees (6 graduates)!
TEACH recipients often work full time while attending school part time, so for many of these graduates, these degrees are many years in the making. They persevered and now they have proof of their accomplishment: a degree that can never be taken away from them. We are so proud of each and every one of them!
Congratulations, TEACH graduates!
