HEART Winners - 2/2022
February 2022 HEART Champions
This year we celebrate the eighth anniversary of our Customer Experience program, Communicate with H.E.A.R.T., which was launched on Valentine’s Day 2014. Since its inception, the HEART Committee has recognized a total of 206 Educators as HEART Champions. This week 35 employees, nominated by YOU, were selected – the largest class to date!
The caliber of nominations was outstanding. The task of identifying our Champions is never easy, and this held true again for the second-quarter award period.
The Champions each bring unique contributions and impact to the CMSD community. The Communicate with H.E.A.R.T. model stresses that the role of the Educator is greater than the tasks associated with his/her job. These Educators embody this philosophy in every way. As we have dealt with the challenges and impact of the pandemic, their acts of service in many instances turned struggles into triumphs for our students, families, and fellow educators.
I extend a sincere THANK YOU to ALL Educators for your daily service and dedication to the experience of our scholars, families, visitors, and educators. You are showing your heart, and you are appreciated!
While we celebrate the anniversary of Communicate with H.E.A.R.T., help us to congratulate our newest HEART Champions, who are listed below. Click here (Communicate with HEART Anniversary Padlet) to leave a celebratory note for our Champions and share your photos and HEART anniversary messages throughout the week. Please also enjoy the treats that will be delivered to work locations this week as a small token of my appreciation and join in the activities highlighted below.
