Here at Shenandoah, we give. That’s what we do. It’s kinda our thing. We help others: co-workers, classmates, people in the community, and people around the world.
We also like to give an insight into what’s been going on throughout the year through our year-end Top 10, which we like to break into our Top 5 video posts of the year and Top 5 stories of the year. But this year, we’ve decided to give a bit more, by sharing our Top 10 Facebook posts of the year. We just love to give so much. We just can’t stop the giving.
So, without further ado, here are our Top 5’s x2 and our Facebook Top 10, all of which reveal what a remarkable 2017 we’ve had at Shenandoah.
