RING THAT BELL! - At Second Chance, we have our own special tradition that echoes the spirit of the Olympic Games Paris 2024. Just as track and field athletes ring a bell in celebration of their achievements, we have a bell that rings every time one of our participants reaches a milestone in their journey. It's a powerful moment of victory and hope, much like the bell that will soon join Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris after its long recovery from the devastating 2019 fire. This new bell at Notre-Dame, destined to ring during mass and prayer services, symbolizes resilience and renewal—values we hold dear at Second Chance. As the Gothic landmark prepares to reopen in December, we are reminded of the strength and perseverance that both our participants and the cathedral embody. Every time our bell rings, it’s a celebration of transformation, celebration and a step toward a brighter future. #secondchanceemployment #resilience #notredame #ParisOlympics2024 #thisissecondchance
