We took the opportunity this school year to perform employee surveys with our staff. This action gives us needed insight into the needs and feelings of our hard-working personnel. Thier feedback is of utmost importance to us, as it helps us make any necessary changes based on our associate's thoughts regarding the workplace. We greatly appreciate thier participation. It gives them a voice to share how they feel about their roles and the day-to-day activities of the Child Nutrition Program.
A segment of the Huntsville City Schools' 10-year capital plan includes the cafteria area at Grissom High School. The cafeteria at Grissom High School is being expanded and this process is already underway. This activity aims to accommodate more students at once while also enhancing the environment in the seating area where students enjoy their meals.
Ms. Michele Hill, Child Nutrition Program Worker at Grissom High School
Ms. Michele Hill has been employed by Huntsville City Schools for almost six years. She is originally from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and moved to Huntsville in 2001. Michele has a 28-year-old stepdaughter, four grandchildren, and a 15-year-old son named Trey. She describes herself as a hardworking and loyal person who is also quite shy.
Before working in Child Nutrition, Michele was a stay-at-home mother for several years. She expresses that what she enjoys most about her job is interacting with the children, as they can be quite amusing. In her free time, Michele loves to read and spend time with her son. Her favorite cuisine is Asian food, and she enjoys listening to old school R&B music.
Michele mentioned that if she were not working in Child Nutrition, she is unsure what else she would be doing. While she is not very interested in sports, she will cheer for the Alabama Crimson Tide and often supports the underdog. Michele hopes to purchase a home one day, and in the next five years, she plans to focus on becoming a better person. Her motto in life is, "Karma is real; you know the rest."
Vetricia Burgess, CNP Worker at Mae Jemison High/Ronald McNair Jr. High
"Ms. Trish is an asset to any kitchen. Her work ethic and dedication are exemplary. When problems arise, she can speak her mind quickly and help correct a situation. But she is also a "character" who brings fun and laughter to the workplace. Ms. Trish is early to work, willing to work late, and has a near perfect attendance record. Her years of experience lend well to training new employees and helping new supervisors. It's a joy to have Ms. Trish on our CNP team!"
-Tyrone Barton, CNP Supervisor at Jemison High/McNair Jr. High
Chanell Holt, CNP Supervisor at Sonnie Hereford Elementary
"Mrs. Holt is compassionate, energetic, and dependable. Her dedication, great personality, and knowledge have been invaluable to the Child Nutrition Program. Mrs. Holt assists her staff in achieving excellence each day, and she appreciates her staff and students. She goes the extra mile to ensure the students receive a great meal daily. Mrs. Holt has exhibited kindness and respect, and most of all, she has a caring spirit, which has enhanced the quality of service with co-workers, faculty, and students. Her patience, professionalism, and helpfulness represent the Child Nutrition program well. Sonnie Hereford has a great teamwork atmosphere, and I attribute this mostly to Mrs. Holt's active involvement in ensuring she and her staff are ready to greet our clients and give them the best experience daily."
