Job Shadow Day

We had students from our Bridges Foundation come yesterday to learn what we do at the hotel. They went to many different departments and got to ask questions and see what happens in those areas. They were then treated to lunch. Everyone had a great time. Thanks to everyone who helped out with this event. The students were Joseph, Jamarlyn, Anthony and Sean.



A note from Bridges Foundation:
"Danielle, Sharon, Kevin and I want to thank you Janice, Cara, and John along with your entire hotel staff for giving our students a great Ground Hog Shadow Day, and for putting out the great snacks and fabulous lunch, as well as having the morning so beautifully planned out, it was amazing and truly had a positive effect on all of us, especially our students.

My student Anthony, who doesn't talk very much, couldn't stop talking all they way home, saying "it was so interesting to see how the rooms are kept up and how the sheets get ironed and folded from the same machine" and he really, really liked the kitchen.

Anthony thanked me for bringing him to the hotel as he wasn't really sure if he even wanted to go and also mentioned that he was anxious to begin reading Mr. Marriott's book as soon as he got home...it doesn't get any better than that!
So again, Thank you from all of us at Marriott Foundation Bridges
Sincerely,

Rick Mansfield"
