In our elementary schools, November is a time when parents, grandparents, and other family members come to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with their elementary school students. ๐ฆ
Many people pitch in to make the feast possible. Among those are the incredible Child Nutrition staff at each of our schools. We highlighted a few of those staff members in this episode of Through The Eyes. This video shows the joy and love our nutrition staff members have for the job they do. ๐ค๐ค
