📚✏️ BACK TO SCHOOL... and BACK TO BAD HAIRCUTS! 😆🍎 In honor of back-to-school season, our office is taking a walk down memory lane (straight into the awkward years) and is sharing some of our vintage school photos. Yes, there are perms. Yes, there are braces. Yes, someone is wearing a turtleneck under overalls (and proud of it). Enjoy the cringey cuteness — we promise we’ve all slightly improved with age. 😉 Feel free to roast us in the comments — or better yet, post your own throwback school pic so we’re not alone in this! (Pictured are Director of Practice Operations, Kristin Hillyer and Client Relationship Manager, Stacie Shoemaker)
