๐ŸŒŸOur November 2025 Top Leaf is Christine Bullock, ASPP Prevention Specialist๐ŸŒŸ
Christine is known for her teamwork, accountability and for being a dedicated member of our Adolescent Su***de Prevention Program team. She is always early to the schools she presents to and prepared. Recently, Christine has stepped up in ways that often go unnoticed, showing flexibility by adding classes to her schedule when team members are out or switching locations on short notice.

She consistently supports her teammates, prepares extra copies for presentations, and goes above and beyond to help where needed. Christineโ€™s dedication and reliability make her an invaluable part of the ASPP team. We are proud to have Christine at Greenleaf! Congratulations!๐ŸŽ‰
