Summary
I have been a Sandusky Blue Streak since the age of 5, graduating in 1978 from SHS. Since 5th grade, I have worked with children at Playland Daycare Center till graduation in 1978. I prepared meals, snacks, and worked with them in many ways. I ran a 4-H horse club for several years working with teen aged kids and ran a food stand during horse shows. For 31 years I have worked for Sandusky City Schools in food services, the last 10 managing Osborne and SPS. During that time, I have filled in for the Food Service Director on several occasions, learning some of the duties and responsibilities involved like managing orders, running the POS for all Cafes, etc. I have many years of experience along with a willingness to learn what it takes.
