My niece just sent me this to make me feel better.

Spirit Week Events Lift Morale
Optimism Grows in Wake of COVID-19


FSD - Crazy Sock Day
FSD leadership in two different areas of the state had similar ideas to lift the morale of team members during the COVID-19 pandemic – “Spirit Week” – in Jefferson City.

On the 9th Floor of the Jefferson Building in Jefferson City, the IM Customer Relations Unit, Quality Assurance/Quality Control Unit, and FAMIS team celebrate Spirt Week April 13-April 17.



Day 1 – Crazy Sock Day

“Spirit Week will be a welcome distraction from the tension and stress we all are dealing with right now,” expressed CIS II Drew Koons with the IM Customer Relations Unit.


FSD - Hat Day
The event was set up to do something to take staff’s minds off the serious nature of what they are working through each day, even if only for a minute.

“The goal was to bring a few smiles and laughs.” said CRU Manager Anna Beckett.



Day 2 – Hat Day

Other themes include Team Spirit Day, Decades Day, and DSS Pride Day.

“We are just trying to find ways to lighten the mood and create something fun and positive to look forward too.” said Cara Newham, Social Service Manager Nursing Home Units. “This will be fun & quite interesting!”
