Congratulations to this week's “Tell Me Something Good” drawing winner Ms. Caitlin Risher from Forest Hills Elementary School.
Ms. Risher shared, "I have encouraged the students to try things we were serving that day because they kept passing it up. I gave them a great pep talk and told them it was really good and to just try it. A lot of the kids started getting it and actually enjoyed their meal, and said it was good!"
Congratulations to Ms. Risher and keep up the great work!
