Our Elementary School Secretary is like a superhero in disguise—she juggles office tasks, wrangles student records, and keeps the communication flowing smoother than a buttered slide! She’s the friendly face at the front office, the master of phone calls, and the wizard of correspondence. Not to mention, she’s the gatekeeper of enrollment and the guardian of attendance records, handling all that top-secret info like a pro. We’re all in awe of her superpowers—our DES students, faculty, and administration salute you, oh mighty Secretary! Thanks for being awesome!
