A Burst of Sunshine
A fixture at The Community School for the last 4 years, Monique Hawkins, our mail carrier had her last day on the route today. From the first time that Monique delivered our mail, it was like a burst of sunshine came through our door. She was always so warm and uplifting. Monique knew every student by name and followed their progress, celebrated their accomplishments and offered encouragement when needed. She is moving to a new position in security at the main post office and will be mush missed.
The students who were in class and didn’t get to see Monique when she came in today, ran up the street to find her delivering mail to get in one last hug. Monique has been part of the fabric of the neighborhood and will be missed. She promises to come back and visit. We wish her well in her new position.
