🎉🎉 Big shoutout to this week’s Pillar of Leadership award winner, Charles McDonald! 🏆✨ We are beyond thrilled to recognize Charles for his incredible dedication and heart. Just before our Thanksgiving meal, he went out of his way, coming to the school after hours and off duty to whip up some delicious homemade potatoes for our students and staff! 🥔❤️ This is just one of the many ways he goes the extra mile for our school community. His commitment truly reflects how much he cares about his role and the service he provides. Not to mention, he has a unique ability to connect with both students and staff, which is simply amazing! Students can’t stop raving about him! His positive energy, upbeat attitude, and down-to-earth nature inspire everyone around him. Charles, your positivity and calm demeanor set a fantastic example for all of us here at CCCMS. Keep shining! 🙌🌟 #LikeAChampion #Leadership #RoleModel #ThankYou
