Savannah is an amazing staff for our daughter. The answers she gave about treating others with kindness and respect is how she lives her life. She absolutely deserves this award.
So proud of my sister Candi Carpenter! She truly cares for people. Her compassion and dedication shine just like her smile. She will always be an inspiration to me.
Good job mom aka Jessica
Congratulations Mandy!
Genius work! Although, is it waterproof? Can we keep water inside papercrete pots?
I am going to say the same thing I have said many times and Debbie knows I feel this way. Ok here goes, The CDDO should be a completely separate organization and not a part of JCDS. That is a conflict of interest. Debbie Slifer Thank You for hanging in there thru all of our struggles with Allie and helping us get it all straightened out. I know at times I had to be your worst nightmare, but it was about my child and you got that. You got that I wasn't going away, and that I wanted this to work more than most for my own reasons. Thank you again Lady. God Bless you on all your endeavors.
What a great story!!
