HUGE thank you to Melissa Halquist-Pruden & our GaesCubs Nutrition Services Team for providing staff with a Turkey meal with all the fixings today! I gobbled mine down so quickly I had to get a pic of a colleague’s plate. These amazing humans go above & beyond daily! Henrico Schools

Thank you, Hunton Baptist Church for spoiling us rotten today! A yummy lunch, fun decor, amazing prizes, and fellowship with some pretty awesome people. Community partnerships at its best!
