2008 CNS Employee Awards

May 23, 2008 - Child Nutrition Services (CNS) honored several of its employees for their outstanding customer service during an annual awards banquet held on May 22.

The annual program acknowledges the hard work and service of CNS employees, in particular highlighting outstanding performance in the areas of attendance, length of service, recruitment, sanitation, financial status, and student meal participation.

“It was a pleasure to recognize the achievements of CNS employees. Cafeteria workers are dedicated and committed to our school system and it shows in the number who receive special recognition during the event,” said Marilyn Moody, CNS Senior Director.

The event at the McKimmon Center brought 285 CNS employees and 27 principals and assistant principals together. School board members Patti Head, Horace Tart and Kevin Hill also attended.

During the event, participants engaged in a Professional Learning Community (PLC) activity in which facilitators at each table led discussions focused on customer service. Superintendent Burns explained to attendees about PLCs and showed a DVD presentation.

“We had a successful PLC activity including employees from all schools, school administrators, and some central services guests. The ideas gathered from the activity will be used to set 2008-09 goals and strategies to improve our customer service in school cafeterias,” said Moody.
