Melissa Smith Employee of the Month

Melissa Smith- The October "ECC Way" Employee of the Month

 YOU, Mrs. Smith, are extraordinary! Your compassionate heart for helping children learn & grow is evident. You set clear guidelines for your classroom & expect each kiddo to learn & obey. You patiently & lovingly teach & guide them to meet those expectations. Not only are those expectations for your classroom, but they are notable expectations for life. You are equipping each child who passes through your door with valuable lifelong skills.

 Your actions of hospitality, warmth & grace show your sweet-spirited soul. Whether it’s a hug & a warm smile, a quick text of endearing words of encouragement and praise to a coworker, or sharing your broom & Clorox wipes with your classroom neighbor, your expressions of generosity are genuinely above & beyond. You lead your pre-k team with integrity and care, even organizing meals for someone in need. Your tireless efforts in our community through your work with teens & tweens at the Refuge are admirable.

 Time & time again, God has blessed our ECC family & our Collinsville community through your humble service.

 Mrs. Smith, you are a true example of, in & through all the ways…..THE ECC Way!
