Teresa Is an amazing person, she goes above and beyond every day. Recently, one of the students at her school passed away and there were several students who needed grief counseling. Teresa made sure those students had food available once they were finished getting the mental help they needed to cope with losing a friend suddenly. Teresa spends some Saturdays decorating her cafeteria, using her own money to make sure the kids are wowed and have a great environment when they come to eat. The kids respect her so much and truly love eating with her daily. The participation has increased since she took over the job as Manager. She keeps a smile on her face even when she was dealing with personal issues in her own life. When Teresa is at work, feeding the kids hot, tasty, nutritious food and giving them a good experience is her only focus. We appreciate her so much and she is so deserving of this recognition.
