Appreciation in Action
Roles were reversed at Sara Collins Elementary where students took time to prepare and serve Food and Nutrition Services (FANS) staff lunch. Special needs students went on a field trip to purchase items and spent the morning preparing a meal that they served to thank the FANS staff for their service to the school. Check out the video!

Please share this link on your school’s homepage so parents may see their award-winning students and staff.

The Amazing Shake is a competition that allowed our 5th grade students the opportunity to demonstrate manners, self-discipline, respect, and professional conduct. This was our first time planning such an event, and we were excited to have members of the community partner with us. The competition was completed in four rounds.
