Friday, 5/5 is School Lunch Hero Day! The School Lunch Heroes at Bell Middle/High School are:
Tammy Messier, Manager
Michelle (Shelie) Barnes, Main Dish Cook
Louis Arambula, Main Dish Assistant/Cashier
Angie Mathis, Cashier/Dishwasher
Paula Bunkley, Salads/Breakfast Cart
Donna Lafler, Cashier/Salads/Breakfast Cart
Shannon Lampp-Hill, Cashier/Fruit Prep
Heather Cox, Cashier, Ala Carte
While these are just the tip of the iceberg of the duties these Heroes perform each day, their jobs are vast. Maintaining required certification and following the current meal pattern requirements is tedious in itself. These men and women work tirelessly to get the job done, take care of the students and staff and still have a smile on their face.
This year, Bell Middle/High School Cafeteria, has served over 2,000 more student lunches than last year. The staff at Bell Middle/High School work each day to make sure all students feel welcome and comfortable. Also, while ala carte sales are not the staple of our reimbursement, Bell Middle/High School has exceeded all schools in their ala carte sales by leaps and bounds – incredible work!
Please remember to applaud this hard-working cafeteria staff! 💜💛🍕🍔🌮🥗
