Bringing Our Best

Thumbs Up: Steven Hauntz

Steven Hauntz (Operations and Maintenance) happened upon us trying to move a broken piece of awkward furniture to the dumpster. With helping hands and a smile on his face, Steven helped us out of our office, into the elevator and kindly finished taking the broken furniture to the dumpster. Thank you, Steven, for helping us! Your time was greatly appreciated. – Kristy Bennett and Gina Haines (both Curriculum and Instruction)
