Joyce Carpenter
Raleigh County Public Schools
Joyce has been a cafeteria manager for several years in the same school. She always goes above and beyond with everything when it comes to feeding her students. She has adopted a cow from the American Dairy Association named Peony, which her staff continues to introduce to the entire school and county on how she is progressing. She makes smoothies once or twice a week for her students even though she plans for the posted menu. She thinks continuously about improving her participation by presenting challenges to her students to try a sample of a new item and then presenting them with a prize.
Joyce is also the president of our county SNA group and serves on the wellness committee. Every year, Joyce and all the members work at the wellness fair (500 or more attendees) at the beginning of the school year. She builds props and plans the theme to be displayed throughout the Child Nutrition booth. There are over 86 booths at this event. The event started three years ago in our county, and every year, the child nutrition booth has won the overall best booth. Our county has a community Chili Cook-off competition with organizations competing for the best chili. The ladies participated for two years in a row and received second and third-place trophies.
Once again, Joyce has taken charge and given so much of her time to purchase and prepare the competing chili and fundraiser items to be sold during the event. She spent the money earned during the holidays buying items for a needy family in their community and then delivering them. She continues to be educated on the changes coming and now in place to ensure her kitchen complies and reaches out to help new and older cafeteria managers who need help.
