Connie Stallings works in the lunchroom at the Child Development Center. "Connie is one of our hardest working employees," said Emily Smith, Cullman County Child Nutrition Director. "She makes it a point to ask each child that comes through the line if they are having a good day, and will take care of them the entire time the are in the lunchroom," said Smith. "She makes sure her students do not leave that lunchroom hungry," said Smith.
Cullman County Schools thanks AmFirst for sponsoring this program. Each teacher and staff member of the month receive a $100 gift card. Congratulations Beth and Connie!
