Big Red Family! Every team needs to be organized and to operate as a unit. Without the diligence, hustle, skill set, and thoughtfulness of the administrative assistant, most companies and schools would wind up in complete disarray. And yet, administrative assistants are often the unsung heroes of the workplace. Thank you to our Administrative Assistants in our school system! 🥰 We appreciate everything you do for us!
