Although we haven’t had all the beautiful smiling faces around us, we have not forgotten the importance of stopping to celebrate and honor those who have accomplished great things. This is normally the time of year when the store really gets hopping with activity; with the buzz of graduation celebrations from nearby colleges and our local high school seniors who we have had the direct pleasure of watching grow up in our small town. This graduating class of 2020 is resilient, strong, creative, and more capable beyond our imaginations. We know you will do great things!
We are so excited to feature the 2020 graduates we have on our staff. Make sure you cheer them on if you see them at the store or in the neighborhood!
Our Staff Grads
Kestral “Kit” Murphy
Kit has been a part of the FCS team since 2016 and it’s been amazing to watch her grow into such a strong young lady and such an incredibly hard worker! Kit is planning on transferring to Florida Atlantic University next year to get her degree in political science.
Gabe Rosales
Gabe has been on the FCS team since 2019 and it was obvious from the beginning he would be of great service. He is hardworking and always focused on the task! In the fall, Gabe plans on attending New River Community College and then transferring to a University and majoring in finance.
Caroline Benson
Caroline has been with the store since 2019 and has been an incredible team member. She is always ready and willing to jump in and do what’s needed to her best ability! Caroline will be attending Radford University in the fall to major in Nursing, with hopes of one day working in Pediatric Oncology.
Mary “Cate” Pavlik
Cate has been with the store since 2019 and in a short while moved into a leadership role. She is wise beyond her years. She says that she and her fellow graduates have persevered through these unforeseen circumstances and we couldn’t agree more. After graduating, Cate plans on taking a gap semester, and then pursuing a degree in environmental science. She plans to make a true difference in the world, and we are sure she will!
Congratulations to our graduates! We are incredibly proud of each of you and your unique contributions you bring to the Floyd Country Store and to the world! We’ll always be here to cheer you on!
