Recognizing our cafeteria heroes

During the pandemic, cafeteria staff from throughout the district stepped up to distribute meals to students and even helped to distribute devices and supplies. This school year, as the district returned to in-person learning, they were there to serve thousands of students. They are School Lunch Heroes!

Earlier this month, staff and students at 113 schools voted to recognize them as such. The schools with the top votes were:

• First Place: Harry Withers Elementary School
• Second Place: John Runyon Elementary School
• Third Place: Hector P. Garcia Middle School

Each of the winners received a banner and certificates. If you know of anyone who would want to be a School Lunch Hero in one of Dallas ISD’s cafeterias, tell them about a series of hiring events taking place in June. Information is available through the Food and Child Nutrition Services Hiring Events flyer.
