Celebrating Our September Best of All: Emily R. & Natalie Hazelton

At GiGi’s Playhouse Fargo, we live by the motto “Best of All”—continual, measurable progress that is celebrated with every small step. It’s not about competing or finishing, but about doing a little better each day. From learning one more word to taking one extra step, our goal is to create an environment where everyone can achieve their personal best, no matter how big or small the accomplishment.

This September, we’re excited to spotlight two individuals who truly embody this spirit: Emily, our participant Best of All, and Natalie Hazelton, our volunteer Best of All!

Emily: A Bright Light in the Playhouse

Emily has been a cherished participant at GiGi’s Playhouse Fargo for many years, and we hope to celebrate her for many more to come! Her warmth and infectious smile light up every room she walks into, from GiGi’s Kitchen to Teen Tastic and Music Makers. This fall, even with new faces in our programs, Emily’s kindness and willingness to lend a hand never falter. She may be reserved at first, but she never hesitates to help when a friend is feeling unsure or nervous.

Emily’s dedication to her goals and her ability to stay focused during activities reflect her ongoing journey toward independence and growth. She continually pushes herself to achieve her Best of All, whether it’s through learning new skills in our fitness programs or lending a hand in the kitchen. We couldn’t be prouder of Emily’s progress and look forward to supporting her as she continues to shine!

Natalie Hazelton: A Volunteer with Heart

Since January 2024, Natalie Hazelton has brought her warm and welcoming presence to our LMNOP program, where she works with babies and young children. Her patience, compassion, and genuine enthusiasm for the work she does make her a standout volunteer. Natalie helps create a nurturing environment for the families we serve, making everyone feel at home from the moment they walk through our doors.

In addition to her incredible work with LMNOP, Natalie is always willing to step up when we need extra volunteers. Her generosity of spirit and unwavering dedication help keep GiGi’s Playhouse Fargo running smoothly, and we are so grateful to have her as part of our team.

Best of All, Every Day

Emily and Natalie are living examples of what it means to strive for your Best of All, and we are thrilled to celebrate them this month. At GiGi’s Playhouse, we believe in the power of small victories and continuous growth, and we are honored to walk this journey alongside such incredible individuals.

Keep pushing your boundaries, Emily and Natalie! We can’t wait to see what’s next for you.
