ENERGY HERO

The Energy community would like to acknowledge an amazing parent volunteer who has stepped up to help support our front office staff and keep our main office running, Mrs. Sarah Levitt! She has been answering phones, signing in guests, helping students and staff, ringing bells and keeping us all on track since we moved into the new building over the summer. She does it all. We are extremely grateful that she has been so generous with her time and patient with students and staff as we adjusted to our new building. Next time you see her in the main office or hear her voice on the other end of the phone, please be sure to thank her for her time and support!
