"Having Baylee in the office isn't just beneficial for the students, it's great for the staff too. We all have bad days or just days that are harder than others and Baylee has a special way of just sensing when you need a little extra attention." Said Administrative Assistant Tayna Mason, "My personal favorite is taking just a 5 minute "brain break" and playing ball with her. You immediately feel the tension slip away and can move on to a more productive rest of your day."
