Amen, Veronica. I frequently talk to our elementary school secretaries - the front office is a battlefield and they rarely get a break. They've told me they feel like they function as the secretaries for 52 bosses (the number of teachers and admin we have) instead of just the principal & assistant principal. School secretaries are usually underpaid (school budget constraints everywhere) and overexposed to stress and germs. Their bright spots are our thank yous (and gift certificates to Bakers Square don't hurt either )

Thanks, V, for a timely reminder!
