Jenna Wessell. A BIG shoutout to Jenna for being an absolute godsent these first few weeks of the school year!
Starting a new school year is always a little overwhelming, but adding the preschool at Defiance has come with a whole new group of students, staff, paperwork, routines, and ALL the things. Jenna has been such an incredible help through it all!
Her organization, attention to detail, and willingness to jump in and help with paperwork have made such a difference. She has kept me on track when my brain has had about 47 things going at once. I definitely couldn't do this without her and I appreciate everything she does to make our jobs as smooth as possible!
