ST. LOUIS DISTRICT DAIRY COUNCIL AND WASHINGTON GSD #52 HAS NOMINATED THESE LADIES AS OUR HOMEGROWN HEROS Kim Widmer (Head Cook for Washington GSD #52) and Nichole Boswell (LGS Lead/Cook for Lincoln Grade School and Crossing Guard for Washington GSD #52) 2022 has been filled with heroes of all kinds: nurses, grocery store clerks, truck drivers, food service workers, and first responders —just to name a few! We know there are many heroes out there who show up, pitch in and go the extra mile every day. To help our school recognize them, we were invited to submit a nomination for the 2023 SLDDC Homegrown Hero award. This award honors hard-working people like our Lunch Ladies, who provide food daily to our Washington GSD #52 students and help keeps them strong and healthy. CONGRATULATIONS KIM AND NICHOLE FOR BEING AMAZING LUNCH LADIES FOR WASHINGTON GSD #52
