BEST BUDDIES

IN LIGHT OF THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT MRS. ELLINGTON AND HER BEST BUDDIES HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR THE PAST THREE WEEKS ON PREPARING GIFTS FOR ALL THE TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATION OF ALEXANDRIA SENIOR HIGH.

DESPITE THE LIMITATIONS ON CLUBS FOR THE 2020 SCHOOL YEAR, ELLINGTON AND HER TEAM ARE STILL FINDING A WAY TO SPREAD JOY DURING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.

EACH GIFT THAT BEST BUDDIES PLANS TO GIVE OUT IS UNIQUE, AND THEY HAVE SPENT HOURS LEARNING ABOUT EACH EMPLOYEE AT ASH TO ENSURE THAT EACH GIFT IS SPECIAL. ELLINGTON EXPLAINS THAT “THE ONE THING THAT EVERYONE NEEDS THE MOST RIGHT NOW IS APPRECIATION.”
