Tonight I heard from Judie, the director at Twin Creeks Head Start in Titusville, PA. I was there a few years ago for a Head Start PRISM program review and brought home some very special friends. The connections have remained strong. Tomorrow they are welcoming a new team for a review - Judie's first as HS Director. We send our blessings for a postive week where the program will be caught doing things right!!
I always remember the conversations I had with the staff about how they recognized individuals. It happened every day, but they decided to do something special in the Spring.
Angel awards: I wanted to share with you the concept of angel awards that their program gave at their annual staff appreciation luncheon. They wanted to recognize the positive unique qualitities that people contribute to the program. They believe that each of us has had an "angel" or two pass through his/her life and these helpers have made their jobs a little easier.

Someone asked what would happen if a person did not get an angel award. Judie's response - so typical of her, "I'm not worried about having an award for each person. We are going to have so many for each person that we will need to decide which one to honor...and we did!!"
The angel award certificate reads: Angel Award: presented in recognition of the time when you walked softly into someone's life and left a lasting impression."
Thanks to Judie and the staff at Twin Creeks for sharing and caring.
