We LOVE getting photos and emails like this to share how amazing our team members are!

"I just wanted to send a HUGE thank you to Tanis. My office was a disaster yesterday as I warned him it would be. He went above and beyond the cleaning and organized my leftover mess... We had a lot of cardboard, floor debris, plastic, etc. We cleaned up as best we could with the time that was left. Tanis threw all of the trash away and helped organize some of the supplies that were left (like pool noodles all over the floor!) Thank you for going above and beyond!"

Thank you to Tanis, who went above and beyond!

Leadership Retreat was a success!

Last Friday, our leadership team spent the day at Little Pine Island Camp & Retreat Center...

We had a fun welcome and State of the Company from our President, Jason Doncis. Teams gathered for 4 different stations where they learned about Radical Candor, Being Thankful for Your Team (by filling out Thank You Cards and Gift Packs), and more.

Since it was hot, we had a nice break with ice cream sandwiches and popsicles in the afternoon.

We finished the day with the winning team getting to select their manager of choice and they got a pie in the face (he was a great sport).

We always look forward to this day to get our leadership team together for fun and continual learning.

If you were there... tell us about your favorite thing of the day.

The appreciation POURED in yesterday for Iztel McCoy who works at Rather Elementary in Ionia Public Schools:

“Itzel does a fabulous job cleaning Rather. She pays attention to the details and will wipe down things and clean things that need to be done. She does a wonderful job and always has a smile on her face and greets everyone. She is wonderful and we are so lucky to have her.”

“Itzel is doing a fantastic job! I am an Early Childhood teacher that does a lot of hands of activities and my room gets messy. She works so hard to make it perfect and trust me it is hard work. I appreciate her so much! Our building is lucky to have her!”

“I just wanted to take a moment and contact you to let you know how such an amazing job Itzel has done this year with cleaning my room. Since she has been here, my room is spotless, surfaces are cleaned, and she cleans places that I would have never thought about cleaning. I am so pleased to have her cleaning my room and grateful as there is no way I could do my job without her.”

“I am emailing to let you know that Rather Elementary School is extremely pleased with the outstanding job that Itzel is doing of cleaning our school. It has not looked this good in a long time! She is incredibly nice and incredibly hard-working! She deserves the biggest raise possible! We are so happy to have her at Rather!”

“Itzel is doing a wonderful job at Rather Elementary! She is very hardworking and always has a smile on her face. I ran into her on one of the half days we had recently, and she asked me about my job and how I’m doing. She jokes around and is so friendly. My room always has the trash and recycling bin empty and I’ve heard from other staff members that their rooms have looked great since she’s been working at Rather!”
