Tiger Nation, let’s give a big shout to our Work-Based Learning students (all seniors) who helped keep our students filled with yummy nourishment during this school year!

On the left are Marissa Thornton, Malachi Blanks, Ms. Tammie Smith (CHS Cafeteria Manager), and Miguel Bautista-Vaquero. Makayla Berry also worked with this team but was unavailable for the photo. On the right are Katie Richey, Ms. Sarah Stanley (CES Cafeteria Manager), and Jayden Freeman. Thank you, Ms. Smith and Ms. Stanley, for mentoring these lovely young people. We appreciate all of you! #SchoolNutritionFolksAreImportant #SchoolLunchHeros #TigerPride #TheDEN
