"Hey There Thursday" was a big success! 🎉 A huge thank you to our amazing local hospital staff who greeted students with bright smiles, warm welcomes, and high-fives this morning! 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️🩺 The kids were so excited… well, most of them 😄 — the high schoolers might be more excited for summer break than high fives at 8 a.m. 😅☀️ Still, we loved seeing everyone start the day with some community care and Cougar pride! 💙 Thank you to our hospital heroes for showing up and spreading the smiles!👋😊💙
