From October 9-13, Minnetonka Schools is celebrating Child Nutrition Employee Appreciation Week. By preparing and serving breakfast and lunch meal service for our students, child nutrition employees are a crucial support for learning and growth in our schools. We are grateful for the flexibility and care they share each day.

Amy LaGrange, Cook Manager at MME, has been supporting learning by coordinating and serving meals for students for more than 20 years. "Being a lunch person requires being flexible, and I pride myself on that," said LaGrange. She and her team work hard to serve hundreds of meals a day to students across six different lunch periods.

"I think my favorite part of my job is just being with the kids and my staff," she shared. "East is an excellent building with such good people!"

Be sure to thank the nutrition services staff in your building this week, and every week!
