💗 Celebrating Ms. JoAnn! 💗

This week, we had the honor of celebrating someone who has been such a special part of the Best Friends family — Ms. JoAnn, who will officially retire on Monday. 🥹💕

Ms. Heather hired Ms. JoAnn on January 2, 2002, and for the past 24 years, she has dedicated her heart to caring for countless children at Best Friends. What an incredible legacy she leaves behind!

Her Pre-K classroom was always filled with learning, laughter, creativity, and so much love. She has made a lasting impact on generations of children and families, and the memories she has created will be treasured for years to come. 📚❤️

Ms. JoAnn, we are going to miss you more than words can say! Thank you for 24 wonderful years of love, dedication, patience, and hard work. Thank you for pouring your heart into our children and for being such an important part of Best Friends.

We wish you the very best in this next chapter of life. You will always be part of the Best Friends family! 💕🎉

Congratulations on your retirement, Ms. JoAnn! We love you and will miss you dearly! 🩷🌸
