Thank you for all you do!

🌟 MANAGER SPOTLIGHT: SHANA SMITH 🌟

This week, we’re shining our Manager Spotlight on Shana Smith from Battle Ground Elementary!

Shana is celebrating 11 years with TSC this October! 🎉 Her favorite part of her job is getting to work with the kids, and one of the things she appreciates most about her kitchen is how well everyone works together as a team.

When she’s not busy making a difference in the cafeteria, Shana enjoys spending time with friends and heading to the Civic Center to watch plays. And when it comes to her favorite food, you can’t go wrong with pizza! 🍕🎭

Shana is truly one of those employees who makes a difference wherever she goes. She’s always willing to step up, lend a helping hand, and fill in wherever she’s needed. Her positive attitude, dedication, and willingness to go above and beyond have not gone unnoticed!

Shana, you truly are the wind beneath our wings! Your commitment to your students, coworkers, and our Dining Services team is something special, and we are so fortunate to have you as part of our TSC family.

👏 Help us celebrate Shana and show her some well-deserved appreciation!
