The Wayzata School Board recognized the Welcome Center team as Wayzata's Employees of the Month at their meeting on Monday, July 14, 2025. Please join us in honoring Welcome Center Specialist, Judi Ohochukwu, and Welcome Center Administrative Professionals, Shirley Ross and Jonathan Blight as the July Employee's of the Month.
The Welcome Center Team has fostered a critical partnership with our Family Liaisons, who now regularly join weekly team meetings and provide invaluable on-site and home-visit support, including in-person enrollment support for Kindergarten Night. The Family Liaisons shared:
“...The Welcome Center team is the first interaction new families have when enrolling in our district. We have witnessed and heard from families that Judi, Jonathan and Shirley provide a warm welcome. They greet each family with a sincere smile, they take the time to answer every question—no matter how big or small. They thank families for choosing Wayzata and enrolling in our schools and wish them a good school year. They never hesitate to help co-workers and are great partners by sharing helpful information, always with a smile. We love working alongside the Welcome Center Team!”
Congratulations to Judi Ohochukwu, Shirley Ross and Jonathan Blight on this well-deserved recognition!
