Happy Administrative Assistant Day to Christina Schulz! Today we celebrate someone who truly keeps Olympia Middle School running day to day. She is so much more than an administrative assistant. She’s the steady presence in our office, the warm welcome for every student, family, and staff member who walks through our doors, and the person who somehow keeps everything moving when things get crazy. She has the heart of a servant in the best possible way. The culture of our school is better because of her. We are incredibly lucky to have Christina as part of our Olympia family. Thank you for everything you do, today and every day.
