Employee of the Month

Desiree Denakis, Recreation Coordinator, is our Employee of the Month!  Desiree has been with our Department for over four years and has been involved in adult fitness, afterschool programs, special events, aquatics, and more.  Currently, Desiree helps coordinate, schedule, and oversee programming and activities at Sprouts Learning Center.  Desiree doesn't know the meaning of the word "can't" and always steps up to challenges, she is always focused on her co-workers' wellbeing and goes out of her way to show them her appreciation.  Desiree's compassion and caring, her background in childcare and her training in early childhood education shine through when she's interacting with children at Sprouts Learning Center.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO DESIREE!
