This month, we’re recognizing two people who show what it really means to find a better way.
Laya Heidari Darani brings calm, patience, and consistency into every shift. She handles tough moments with care, supports kids through challenges, and still finds ways to make the space feel positive and safe. Her teammates feel it, and so do the kids.
Laya has chosen to donate her $100 Core Values Award to the Janeway Hospital.
Kennedy Raye Barrault leads with heart and intention. She keeps kids at the center of every decision, builds strong relationships within her team, and creates an environment where people feel supported to do their best work. She turns challenges into real improvements and lifts everyone around her.
Kennedy has chosen to donate her $100 Core Values Award to Kids Eat Smart Foundation, because she believes every child should have access to healthy food.
Two different strengths. One shared impact.
Thank you, Laya and Kennedy, for showing up the way you do every day. 💚
