What is a sidekick? Your sidekick is simply a buddy at work outside your traditional team. This is meant to be a fun way to connect with someone outside of your usual path. Below is a calendar for sidekick dress up days through the month of February. Jeans are acceptable for anyone participating in the dress up days.
Let's try this one again: Who is your workplace sidekick?
celebrate them in the shout out!
Your sidekick deserves some love! Let them know how they help our school by adding a Shoutout for them this week.
