After a nearly three-year hiatus due to COVID-19, April 18 marked the return of a beloved 34-year Texas Children’s tradition: The New Employee Pep Rally.
President and CEO Mark A. Wallace created these events to convey his passion and appreciation for the newest members of Texas Children’s. During the pep rallies, employees and their leaders mingle, enjoy light refreshments and learn about the history and mission of Texas Children’s from Mr. Wallace himself. But that’s not all: Mr. Wallace doesn’t leave until he has met and taken a photo with every person in the room (duck-face selfies included).
The April 18 pep rally also included a special performance of the Texas Children’s Ukulele Choir’s, “The Texas Children’s Way,” a heart-felt, original song encompassing the four values our team members live out daily.
“It’s wonderful to bring back the pep rallies as they have always been such a cherished tradition at Texas Children’s,” said Mr. Wallace. “I loved seeing all the smiling faces and so many leaders present to help welcome and cheer on our newest employees. It was another great day at Texas Children’s!”
