In Gratitude
Soto Street Summer Work
It's important for me to live in gratitude so I wish to express my gratitude to Armando and his crew for all the headaches and heartaches of the summer. Plant managers sometimes make or break the environment, but his pride and joy of Soto Strreet, really has helped Soto Street thrive!
Additionally, the office staff has endured mostly swetty days, more boxes than they would like to recall, and recolation. Please also express your gratitude to them as well.
Lastly, our out of the classroom support has come with a strong presence. They have been hands on with all the activitiesl leading to day 1. What an amazing team I've been blessed with!
