The Best Day of Work Ever!
“I and 20 of my EY colleagues were delighted to be welcomed by the Rising Ground Head Start Program. We had a great time spending the day with 90 preschoolers, their 5 teachers and 10 teacher assistants. We played counting games, read stories, participated in recess, ate a fun meal (pizza donated by EY), sang and danced. Several team members shared, ‘”This was the best day of work ever!” All of us were impacted by the children’s willingness to learn and bright attitudes. We were so pleased to be able make a difference in the lives of these children!”
