At this year's ECESD Employee Recognition Ceremony, we had the privilege of honoring outstanding employees and retirees whose dedication, hard work, and commitment help make a difference for our students, schools, and community every day.
Thank you to our Board of Trustees, families, friends, coworkers, and community members who joined us in recognizing and celebrating these incredible individuals. It was a meaningful event filled with appreciation, recognition, and memorable moments.
A special thank you to our Child Nutrition team for preparing and serving the delicious appetizers that everyone enjoyed! (There were taquitos, burritos, ribs, tiramisu, cheesecake and... it was gooood! π€€)
Congratulations to all of our honorees and retirees!
