Perfect Attendance Awards

On Monday, September 27, 2004, our President, Dana Krauss, Immediate Past-President, Judy Anderson and Community Outreach Committee member, Mary Chastain, visited the 5th grade classes at Anderson Elementary School to present Perfect Attendance Awards to three deserving students for the prior school year. (Due to school privacy policies, we are unable to share their names.) Originally the awards were to be presented at the “end of the year” party in May but unfortunately the party was cancelled when the school was closed due to power outages following a storm.

The three students were presented with special wooden, jewel inlaid “treasure” boxes from India picked out especially for the students by Community Outreach Committee Chair, Susan Miller and her world traveler brother. Our presenters shared with the classes the importance of perfect attendance, how much we, as office managers, value employees who always report to work and how these three students were developing a strong work ethic that would be very beneficial for their future. These statements resulted in smiles and nodding heads of agreement from their teachers and counselor, Berneice Jackson. All students were encouraged to strive for perfect attendance during the current school year.

The presenters all agreed that the afternoon was another rewarding experience in our ongoing partnership with the very special students and faculty of Anderson Elementary School.
