I know most of us won't get individual recognition, it can be lonely in the shadows, but know that you all are an important part of the educational system and free up the educators to educate. Also...
I received my annual dozen of Cinnabon sized homemade cinnamon roll from one family, this is more than my SNF is doing. The kicker? HR wants to talk to me about retention ideas at the SNF. Can't wait...
