🎉 Happy Retirement, Mrs. Jan!! 🎉
After an incredible 39 years working with WCPS, and 30 years running our kitchen, our beloved Kitchen Manager, Jan Clopper, is officially hanging up her apron!
Mrs. Jan has been the heartbeat of our kitchen, guiding our school through countless busy services, ensuring every student is fed. While we are incredibly sad to see Mrs. Jan go, we couldn't be happier for her to move onto this next well-deserved chapter.
Please join us in wishing Mrs. Jan a relaxing, joyful retirement and thanking her for all her hard work and dedication!
💜You will always be part of the Cascade family, Mrs. Jan! Come back and see us anytime! We will miss you! 💜
