The annual Bring Your Child to Work Day at Simpson & McCrady was on Thursday, June 5 and it was heartwarming and lively occasion—one that fills the office with cheerful chatter, toys, games, and even a plastic golf club and ball or two. Our young guests arrived with wide eyes and big smiles, eager to see where their parents spend their days.
The day kicked off with a sweet start—donuts! Each child received their own employee badge and completed fun “new hire” paperwork, which included questions like “What do you want to be when you grow up?” One awe inspiring answer: Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
A tour of the office followed, giving children—ranging in age from almost 2 to 17—a chance to meet every team member. The break area, with the special coffee and hot cocoa maker was a highlight (we may have run out of hot cocoa), and the excitement continued with a delicious Chick-fil-A lunch that everyone enjoyed together.
Throughout the day, the children got a firsthand glimpse into the world of insurance. For many, it was a day of “firsts”—first time in an office, first paycheck (yes, every child received one!), the first introduction to the insurance industry, and even their first time painting a rock. We even played bingo.
More than anything, the day was about spending time together, for children to see their parents in action, and for all of us to share a little bit of what makes Simpson & McCrady such a special place. From engaging activities and creative crafts to lots of laughter and running around, it was a blend of learning, fun, and togetherness so thank you for bringing in your children for they are awe inspiring.
And thank you to everyone who helped make this tradition such a wonderful success. A special shout out to Kathy Lafon, Lauren Newlin, and Samantha Palumbo and to the Company for making this a special day. We’re already looking forward to and planning another unforgettable Bring Your Child to Work Day next year!
