Today we celebrate an incredible group whose dedication, hard work, and hearts have helped shape our department for generations of students. ❤️

Combined, these amazing individuals have devoted more than 90 years of service to our team — years filled with early mornings, countless meals served, relationships built, and lives impacted every single day. Their commitment, compassion, and unwavering work ethic have left a lasting mark on our schools and community.

While it’s hard to imagine our department without them, we are so excited for this next chapter of well-deserved rest, relaxation, adventure, and time spent doing the things they love most.

Thank you for the years of service, the memories, the laughter, and the difference you made each and every day. Congratulations on your retirement Tim, Kevin, Michelle, and Lorraine — your legacy will continue long after your final day.

For many students, seeing their cafeteria team is the favorite part of the day—and that connection means everything. Thank you for the care you pour into every meal and every child you serve. We appreciate you today and every day! 🍎🥗🥪

We had an incredible visit at Ben Barber Innovation Academy with 👏🐄
Owner & CEO of Don Lee Farms, Donald Goodman and his team spent time with our students sharing insights about their business and bringing along some delicious samples for a taste test. Students had the opportunity to give real feedback on items that could potentially make their way onto future menus—how cool is that?!

MISD is proud to serve fresh, locally produced products from Don Lee Farms, manufactured right here in Mansfield, Texas. You can even find many of their items at well-known stores like Costco, Walmart, and Sam’s Club!
We truly value this partnership and appreciate Mr. Goodman’s passion for K-12 foodservice and his commitment to providing nutritious, high-quality meals for students. Thank you for investing in our students and collaborating with us to create even better menu options!
