Congratulations to our November Employee of the Month ... Heather Skappel 🀩 Heather is one of our workroom supervisors and has been on our team for 5 and 1/2 years. Her favorite part of working at the DAC is "seeing all of the individuals' wonderful smiles - it makes my heart happy." Outside of work, you can find Heather being the #1 fan of her two son's baseball teams, playing bingo with "the Golden Girls" (her bestie and both of their moms), and hanging out with her family.

Get to know Heather!
List 3 fun facts about yourself. "When my mom found out she was pregnant with me, the doctor heard 3 heartbeats. I own over 60 pairs of shoes. I have about 30 bingo dobbers."
What was your best Halloween costume? "Dressing up as a hippie."
Favorite sports teams? "My boys' baseball teams and the Minnesota Vikings."
What's your coffee order? "A caramel frap with caramel drizzles, whipped cream, and an extra shot of espresso."
If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be? "One of Jelly Roll's albums."
What person, past or present, has been an inspiration to you and why? "My Aunt Mary. She was one unique woman."
If you were a potato, how would you want to be cooked? "Baked with melted cheese, broccoli, and lots of pepper 😊"
What's something you want to learn if you had the time? "How to speak Spanish."
If you could have any animal for a pet, what would it be? "A monkey."
What's the weirdest food you've ever eaten and would you eat it again? "Elk and no thank you ..."

Thank you, Heather, for all your hard work and dedication to the DAC!

Last Friday, we celebrated our annual DAC Recognition Day. We spent the morning hanging out and playing games, a few DAC staff made lunch for everyone, and we held our Recognition Ceremony in the afternoon. All of our individuals, whether they’ve been here 3 months or 53 years (!!), received a goody bag and certificate acknowledging their hard work and dedication to the DAC. 🫢🏼

We also celebrated our staff, as last week was also Direct Support Professional Appreciation Week. Several staff were recognized for reaching 1, 5, 10, and 25 years of employment at the DAC. All staff were given a β€œstaff superlative” certificate – a silly title based on each of their personalities, interests, habits, etc. 😁

It was a fun week of dress-up days and acknowledging our amazing individuals and super staff! β˜€οΈ

We LOVE Pajama Day! 😍
