This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and it’s the perfect reminder to recognize the incredible impact teachers have on our lives every single day.

Whether from the perspective of the office or from families at home, we all see the dedication, patience, and heart that teachers bring into their classrooms. They do so much more than teach lessons—they inspire, encourage, and help shape the future.

If you take a moment to think back, each of us can name a teacher who made a difference in our lives. Someone who believed in us, challenged us, or simply showed kindness when we needed it most.

This week—and beyond—is a reminder to show our appreciation. A kind word, a note of thanks, or even a small gesture can mean so much.

To all teachers: thank you for everything you do. 🍎📚

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Tracy Tancrede 🌟

We’re excited to shine the spotlight on Tracy Tancrede, a valued member of our agency whose passion for people and service truly stands out!

Before joining the insurance industry, Tracy spent an incredible 28 years in early childhood education. Her experience spans the classroom, administration, and supervisory roles—and she even owned and operated her own childcare business for 8 years. Through that journey, she developed a deep love for customer service, building partnerships, and community outreach—skills she brings with her every day.

This August marks Tracy’s two-year anniversary in the insurance field. She continues to grow her expertise by taking classes and expanding her knowledge of the industry.

Giving back is close to Tracy’s heart. She actively supports causes like the Michael J. Fox Foundation, the Izzy Foundation, and Friends Helping Friends RI.

Outside of work, Tracy enjoys spending time with her family—she’s been married for 23 years and is a proud mom to two daughters, ages 17 and 21. She also has a cat named Scout! In her free time, you’ll find her enjoying music, hiking, relaxing by lakes, visiting wineries, and making memories with loved ones.

We’re lucky to have Tracy on our team—her dedication, warmth, and experience make a difference every day! 💙

Happy Earth Day! 🌍💚

Today’s a great excuse to show our planet a little extra love—whether that means planting something green, picking up a bit of litter, or just finally remembering to bring those reusable bags 😄

The Earth does a lot for us… clean air, beautiful views, snacks (very important). So let’s return the favor, even in small ways. Every little bit helps! 🌱✨

If you are interested in joining in an Earth Day event, there is one in Johnston this weekend. Click the link below for more information.

Celebrate Earth Day along the Woonasquatucket River Greenway with planting, rain barrels, biking, and fun for the whole community.

It’s Tax Day! 📅💼

If you’ve already filed—congrats, you survived! 🎉
If you’re still working on it… remember, procrastination is just “time travel for stress.” 😅

While you’re thinking about finances, it’s also a great time to review your insurance coverage. Making sure you’re properly protected can save you money (and headaches) down the road!

Have questions? We’re here to help—no calculator required 😉
