Sara absolutely ADORED "her babies" at The Children's Academy! She stopped in my office at the end of every shift to thank me for the job she loved. Sara loved her coworkers and was always willing to lend a hand anywhere we needed her! Our babies were so blessed to have her in their lives. She will be missed.
