A Great Place to Work

Recently the Audubon Community School was named one of the top workplaces in the small business category by the Des Moines Register and Workplace Dynamics...the only school listed in this category!!



It just confirms what I've know for the past five years...This IS a great place to work!!

Don't get me wrong, we have our moments around here where it's not so great (and even occasionally a day or two) but for the most part it's a joy coming to work everyday here at the Audubon Community School.

Why did we receive this award?  Here are a few employee comments from the survey:

"I believe it positively affects the future of young people."

"Very good people to work with who have a positive attitude towards work and each other."

"We strive to do right by the students we serve."

"The integrity of the leadership of this district contributes most to my confidence."

I have worked in several schools, (this is my 7th to be exact) in my 30 years of education and although I've enjoyed all of my educational stops, this has been, by far, the most enjoyable and it's because of the people I get to work with!!

Now we're not walking around here all day giving each other hugs, high fives and pats on the back(that would be a little creepy) but I have never worked in a place where so many people have such a positive, can-do attitude. Where everybody seems to have one goal in mind and that's to make this a great place for kids to learn!!

 So thanks to all of you who make this such a great place to work...you and the students are why Mondays truly are my favorite day of the week!!

Congratulations to us!!
