Sunset Housekeeping Notes
March 25th - March 29th
Dear Sunset Staff....
I have to say I work for the MOST Amazing staff....We are headed into the last stretch of the year - often times the most trying part of the year. Keep your heads up, your eyes forward and your heart open to a colleague that may need a smile or a kind, encouraging word. In these last few weeks, remember to seek first to understand, don't take things personal, and ALWAYS assume the positive. We all will be under a large amount of stress - that is what the end of the year brings - so, I ask that we uphold each other, especially out in public! Lastly, with the ending of the school year, rumors begin to fly, please try not to engage in rumors and or small talk....if you have questions, please come ask me - I will ALWAYS be honest and up front with you.
Love ya all,
Hafey
