GENERAL SHERMAN

This year has been filled with many unknowns and challenges, but we knew we wanted to try to keep some positivity around the building with a new staff initiative this year - the YOU ROCK wall!

It is a place in our office that staff members can write positive notes to other staff members about any awesome, kind, wonderful, amazing act they witnessed that person doing. Each month, one of the notes is randomly selected and the staff member that is recognized on the note will receive a gift card!

This month's winner is Robin Bethel! Robin is an intervention specialist who joined our Sherman family this year. She teaches online classes as well as tutoring and social skills in person. Her positive attitude has been such a blessing this year. We are incredibly lucky to have her!
