This week's Faculty Spotlight highlights our amazing cafeteria staff: Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Woodberry, Mrs. Lowe, Mrs. McDonald, and Mrs. Shields. Not only do they provide nutritious meals for our students, they do so with efficiency and with warm smiles. The team is intentional about getting to know the students and making a positive impact on their day.

Thank you to the IHS cafeteria team for making Islands incredible!
