“Nanette is such a hero at our school! Nanette cares so deeply for not only our students but also our staff. All schools in our district serve breakfast and lunch, but what makes Nanette stand out is her caring attitude for each and every student. It doesn’t matter if students/staff forgot their lunch, arrive to school late, we all know that Nanette is there to make sure no one goes hungry. When we have special school-wide events, Nanette has been so open to taking part in the event. She is truly our Nebraska School Nutrition Hero!”
– Honored by Lynette Wieger, Teacher Librarian, Millard Public Schools
“Both of our kitchen staff, Nanette and Susan, are bright and cheery members of the Hitchcock community. They great each student and staff member with smiles and always do their best to accommodate everyone’s lunch choices, even if they are late or forgot to order. I cannot say I have ever, in my nearly 30 years in education, worked alongside such positive and pleasant support staff. They both truly are such valued members of our team, as students and staff who are hungry certainly cannot learn and do their best. Thanks, ladies!”
