The Employee Engagement team has planned an activity for each week in May. You're encouraged to participate and send in your photos!

  • May 1 - May 7: Share Your Favorite Cookout Recipe. In honor of our Campus Cookouts hosted each May, we want to know your family-favorite recipe! Send us a picture, instructions or link to your go-to main or side dish and we will share with all employees!
  • May 8 - 14:  Favorite T-Shirt. Wear your favorite Cook Children's T-shirt! Take a photo, send it in and tell us why it's your favorite.

You can download the word search at the top right-hand side of this page. And if you send in a selfie of you and your completed word find to internalcommunications@cookchildrens.org, you’ll be entered into a drawing for a $5 Starbucks or Cook Children’s gift card (5 winners will be randomly selected).
