Today we have four staff members graduating from high school. We are so excited for them as most of them have been with us for a long period of time. So this year our donation to the high school was even more special.
Last year we provided blue artificial roses decorated with ribbon and a small card with the school mascot. The roses were to match the school colors and be given to each graduate. These are the same roses we give to customers during the different holidays. Once, a customer had mentioned that they would be great to get during receptions so we started to donate them to local events.
The best part was that most of our staff wanted to help decorate each rose. Usually, we start this project a week ahead and have the servers work on it during off peak times. This year I found out that the whole kitchen staff also wanted to help with them and did during their lunch breaks. We ended up making 210 roses and delivered them to the high school a few days early.
We usually donate many items during the year but I realized this one seemed to take a unique meaning as the whole staff was able to be a part of it.
