Pooh Bear Child Care Class — July - September 2006

Jul 1, 2006

This is a very special Team of the Quarter! Their nomination has come from the parent of one of their little students. This parent is also a SPIN manager but he is definitely a dad first. Here is his story:

I normally go to the SPIN Administration and Early Childhood building in the morning to take my son to childcare and one morning, I bought a piece of delicious cake for 50 cents. The bake sale was a fundraiser for t-shirts for the children to wear on their trip to the Adventure Aquarium in New Jersey. Since it was for such a good cause, I bought more cake.

The day before the trip, I picked up the t-shirt for my son, Harry, at no cost because of the fund raiser. Harry was so happy and eager to wear the special shirt. On the day of the trip, Harry wore his shirt … and promptly spilled juice on it. He was upset and would normally want to change to another shirt, but on this day he said, "No, I want to keep it on." He wanted to be the same as all of his friends.

Miss Marie and Miss Corinne put so much time energy and caring to everything they do for the children in the Pooh Bear class. As a parent, I know that they care about my son and will keep him safe and secure and will always make him and his classmates feel wonderful about being a part of this special class.

Corinne and Marie, it gives us great pleasure to honor you today at the Team of the Quarter. The story Mr. Palmer tells of his son's special t-shirt and the bake sale exemplifies both your teamwork and your willingness to really make a difference for the children in your class and their families. A trip can be just a trip or it can be a magical adventure; it all depends on what you put into it. Thanks for helping all the little pooh bears have such magical days.

Sincerely,


Trina Losinno
