Thank you, School Lunch Hero Teams!

At Briarwood Elementary, Tiffany Comolli’s fourth grade students celebrated School Lunch Hero Day on Friday, May 3, by writing notes of thanks to their school Food Service team.

To amplify some of their words of thanks, we’re sharing them here:

• “Thank you for putting so much time and effort!” Mina wrote.
• “Your lunch is delicious!” another student declared on their note.
• “Thank you for being a lunch hero!” wrote Penny, who drew a picture of chicken nuggets.

School Lunch Hero Day is celebrated in early May each year, and is organized nationally by the School Nutrition Association.

Thank you, Food Service teams, for serving up love and care for our students each day, along with nutritious meals!
 

Cascade Ridge paraprofessional Sue Ducharme said of the CRES Food Service team Yoko Anderson & Christina Tulowitzki: “We couldn’t do it without Christina and Yoko in our kitchen.  The food they provide always looks so appetizing and they serve the kids with smiles on their faces every day!” 
 

Challenger Elementary Principal Jennifer Kessler says, “Our cafeteria crew goes above and beyond to make sure our students are eating healthy meals each day.  They get here early in the morning to start their day and our students really eat up all their hard work!”

 

Clark Elementary Office Professional Annette Aratani said “Our amazing lunch ladies are always smiling and helpful to staff and kids. We don’t know what we would do without them!”

Issaquah High School Assistant Principal Andrew Guss said “Nel and our whole Food Service team have done a fantastic job efficiently running a massive food program at IHS! The lines may be long, but the wait is short and the process is smooth. Nel, our Kitchen Manager at IHS, has been a strong partner with administration, as she's always comfortable to come by and ask questions regarding programming, schedule changes, and anticipated attendance numbers. IHS is lucky to have her!”
