Lunch is often a favorite time of day for students in the middle school. Patty Turner has been recognized as an icon because of her hard work, kindness, and her friendly interactions with students. She is part of the cafeteria staff at BAMS. Ms. Turner has been a part of the staff at Bellwood for close to three years and loves her work! Her favorite food to cook is pizza partially because she makes them all the time at home.
Patty expressed that the highlight of her job was seeing her granddaughter, Davanee, everyday. She shared that she wouldn’t want to change anything about her job. Ms. Turner tries to help students make healthy choices. “I try to encourage vegetables, fruit, using manners (like please and thank you), because things like that can go a long way.” We are lucky to have such a wonderful person working in our cafeteria every day!
