Suzanne Wilson 

 Suzanne is a tremendous asset to our kitchen and District.  Suzanne follows all recipes, helps all other staff in any way needed without being asked. Especially when shorthanded, she steps up even more to make sure that all lunch lines flow easily and the students eat on time. All of the staff here just love to be on the same team as Suzanne and feels she deserves to be Employee of the Month.

FEBRUARY

Eileen Vassallo

This year Eileen became a 6 hour worker and has really stepped up to the plate.  Eileen is a motivated employee – she completes morning prep responsibilities and serves/cashiers breakfast.  She is automatically assigned acting lead any time our lead is absent; and has never declined this task.  She is willing to pitch in – even after hours on her own time; never expecting anything in return.  She has an excellent rapport with students, teachers and staff and is often a “go to” person in many instances.  She is knowledgeable about her job and has overcome many obstacles and always manages to keep her cool.  She deserves this recognition because she is a valuable employee and friend to all ~Connie Maguire, Cafeteria Manager

           Tina is a dedicated worker, coming in early and leaving late without any complaints. When I approach her with new items or things that have to be done she does not complain but says all we can do is try it. She is a hard worker and her employees that she works with always give her the respect that she deserves. I have worked with her for the past 7 years and she always has a smile on face no matter what kind of day she is having. I really think she deserves employee of the month. ~Marge Gebhart, Cafeteria Manager

Stacey works very hard and still makes time to promote all School Nutrition events. Her spirit and passion is very special to our program. I feel she deserves this nomination.

MELANIE ROBERTS

 

 

 

Melanie is a dedicated and enthusiastic employee.  She decorates the Cafeteria with beautiful seasonal items; even spackled and painted – on her Summer vacation!!  She even has her own bulletin board in which she highlights school news, nutritional information or even encouraging good-bye & good luck wishes to graduating classes.  She leads the team at Brandywine Springs and has an excellent rapport with the teachers and administrators.  But the #1 reason she should be employee of the month is that she is HUMBLE and glad to do all of these things to service our students in Red Clay!
