Happy Food Service Employees Day!

Wednesday, September 25 was National Food Service Employees Day. Century celebrated the hard working breakfast and lunchtime crew with a visit from administration and a small gift. This energetic group of ladies keep meals consistent and healthy for over 1200 students at Century. Their day starts bright and early, and they work tirelessly through the day to prepare, serve, and clean. When asked what their favorite part of their job is, Stacy replied, "working together as a team." Tabitha, the leader of the kitchen staff replied genuinely, "getting to know each child more and more throughout the year." Jennifer replied with a smile, "I like to feed them the treats...I'm in charge of the cookies and sweets!" Three of the kitchen staff ladies have the unique opportunity of seeing their own child every day at school. "I like being able to see my kids every day. She helps me serve, and I love that I get to know about her day as it unfolds." The kitchen ladies genuinely enjoy seeing each student, even if their food combinations are unique. One employee said she's seen kids put ketchup on pizza. Despite knowing when students take two bags of chips or hand off their veggies to the student behind them, this outstanding food service crew enjoys seeing the students each day. Century administration, teachers, and students would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the kitchen staff for all of the hard work, energy, and passion they put into each day!
