Today we celebrate our Food Service Staff on their recognition day! This group ensures every day and throughout the summer that our students are well-fed and get the nutrition they need to make it through a long school day. Not only that, but they become mentors and another adult our students can connect with. The team works to come up with new ideas for the students and get to know them personally.
Thank you to our Food Service Team for all you do daily!
Please take a few minutes today to give them a thank you, a note, or small token of appreciation.

Thank you, Mrs. Weber, for your initiative, hard-working personality and all the care you put into your job daily!
