My Why:  I started when my youngest started kindergarten, and loved the thought of being near my daughters.  I really never thought about how long I would stay, but I still love my job.  I enjoy the connections I have with students and staff.  I love being in charge of my own kitchen, and striving to be the best I can be.  I am thankful to be in an environment that appreciates what I am doing for my part.
