Our group is incredibly lucky. We have the best co-op coordinator. Kristie has a talent for pulling this all together and making it a success. I am always amazed how smoothly things seem to run. This, I am sure, is a testament to her hard work and many hours of organization.
There before everyone and the last to leave, I think she may get five minutes to sit all day. She spends months planning and five Fridays executing her masterpiece. Kristie comes with name tags, hair ties and tarps. She has class lists, maps and supplies. She hauls the lost and found and countless supplies for other things. All this on top of making sure her three girls are where they need to be.
Kristie manages to deal with parent and teacher absences, wrangling clean up crews, and keeping up with where everyone belongs. She never lets on how much work this is or how tired she is at the end of the day. We all go about our business and classes and most of us don’t realize the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes.
So remember to stop and take a moment to thank your co-op coordinator. This is often a thankless position and we all owe her a debt of gratitude for the hard work and countless hours she spends to make our five weeks twice a year a great time for all.
