Jordy from 2B!

Jordy always has a positive spirit! She is quick to encourage, uplift and think of the good. Many of her responses start with "that's okay, at least we get to…." She makes me so proud as she helps others think of the positive and always leads with a smile, I'm so thankful for her optimistic attitude and positive light in 2B!
