Percy's Peeps: Recognizing Arrowhead Teachers & Staff

Ms. Nahrein Rasho

As students line up to check out their lunch trays, Ms. Nahrein is the caring smile they see helping them out. Nahrein's patience and kindness are always there to make sure students have everything they need as they get ready for a delicious school lunch.

Ms. Rema Shamoon

Who's that preparing and cooking amazing meals for an entire school? It's our very own Ms. Rema. When Rema isn't making delicious and nutritious meals for students and staff, she's helping students out in the lunch line, or keeping her coworkers laughing with her great sense of humor.

Ms. Kim Czosnyka and Ms. Tracy Dennis

Ms. Kim is the "big boss" when it comes to lunches at Arrowhead. Her dedication and perseverance keep the lunch operation running at it's finest. She manages to do all of that and still have an unbounded enthusiasm for her work.


Ms. Tracy is the newest member of our Arrowhead lunch staff! As she is laughing and talking with the kids getting their lunches, you'd think she had been on the team for years.



Mr. Will Vlasity

Aside from the big job of keeping our cafeteria clean, William is a model of positivity for Arrowhead students. His big smile and helpful can-do attitude make everyone feel welcome.
