Today we recognize Chris with some of his colleagues’ accolades:

Chris, I can’t thank you enough for all that you do in the kitchen, and for making my class feel at home, and giving them all the love that you have. All my kids are so happy when they get to see you and feel welcomed.

Chris is just a great guy, he’s fantastic with the kids, says hi, and is always pleasant. He is an all-around nice guy.

Chris, you have a way with our staff, our students, and our parents that is par-none. Thank you for being awesome.

Talking about Chris…He is the greatest boss I’ve ever had. He’s sweet, kind, helpful… He’s always smiling, and the kids love him.

Chris is a person that has this demeanor that works so well here at Latham. He’s calm, even all the time, and jumps in to help where needed. He really cares about the kids, and that comes through.
