Happy Administrative Professionals Day!
Today we’re celebrating the incredible trio who keep Vaughn Elementary running smoothly every single day. Our amazing administrative professionals are the heartbeat of the front office — juggling calls, comforting kids, organizing all the things, and somehow always knowing exactly where everything (and everyone) is.
Thank you, Ms. Melissa, Ms. Dana, and Ms. Mary!
We’d share a photo of the three of them together… but we don’t have many — turns out it’s hard to catch them in the same spot when they’re always busy saving the day!
Thank you for all you do — we are so grateful for you!
