The team was proactive, highly organized, and both motivated and motivating -- because of this, they completely served the students and teachers at Carroll through SAYL, mentoring and exhibiting esprit d'corps… When a high quality, effective team such as this one is in place, their support is SEAMLESS - it doesn't distract or detract the faculty/staff/students.

We just simply cannot thank you enough for what you all did for DCYC. It is nothing short of amazing! I was in awe after you all left yesterday at the MANY projects that were done-in a SINGLE DAY!! You all are incredible. This morning Jim and I had to talk about how wonderful everything looks-he loves the green in the Tumble Gym. The mural is GREAT-we walk out of the center and we are greeted with a happy scene in wonderful bold, pop out colors-it really puts a smile on your face. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
