Students’ moms helped out in the cafeteria because the lunchroom was shut down. They have prepared and served meals September 9-23.

Four moms volunteered to help, including Melina Foster, Katrina Kopf, and April Scott. Sherri Martin, a former worker in the cafeteria, came out of retirement to help.

“Well, I decided, knowing my kids, that everybody else’s kids should be in school. And in order for that to happen, we need to help back here. I didn’t want all these other kids to sacrifice not being in school,” Melina Foster, a volunteer mom, said. 

The volunteers did not have concerns about contracting Covid-19.

The moms enjoyed helping. Without volunteers for the cafeteria, the school would have been shut down and everyone would have done distance learning. 

“It’s been really fun,” said Foster.
