This week's Ninja Necklace recipient is Mrs. Christy Acosta, our incredible head secretary and MMSOA bookkeeper! Mrs. Thornley writes: Mrs. Acosta is the epitome of dedication and grace. She’s always willing to lend a helping hand, offers thoughtful and honest feedback when I need it most, and treats everyone at MMSOA with kindness and respect. When challenges arise, she faces them head-on, refusing to give up and always doing what’s right—even when it’s tough. Her support, creativity, and resilience are a constant source of inspiration for me, and I couldn’t imagine doing this job without her. That’s why it’s my absolute pleasure to recognize Mrs. Acosta as this week’s Ninja!
