A Huge Thank You to Waynesboro T-Mobile!
We are incredibly grateful to Waynesboro T-Mobile for their generous donation of notebooks! These beautiful notebooks feature cover designs by the talented Sabrena Khadija, a Maryland-based, Sierra-Leonean American artist and illustrator. Sabrena's work reflects their identity as a Black non-binary artist, striving to create art that sparks joy and inspiration while championing diversity and inclusion. π¨π«
Each notebook is not only visually stunning but also thoughtfully designed, with a magenta string closure and a sticker page featuring empowering messages like "Black History Every Month", "Stronger Together", "Afro Future", "I Am Magic", "Unity", and "Power To Inspire". π
Thank you, Waynesboro T-Mobile, for your support in providing our students with these inspiring and uplifting resources!

School nutrition employees must balance many roles and follow numerous federal, state and local regulations to ensure safe and healthy meals are available in schools. School Lunch Hero Day provides the opportunity for the community to thank these hard working heroes for their dedication to fueling our students for success.
Between preparing delicious food, adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile, Waynesboro Public Schools nutrition professionals have a lot on their plate. To celebrate their hard work and commitment, our schools will celebrate School Lunch Hero Day on May 3. This day, celebrated annually since 2013, was designated by The School Nutrition Association and Jarrett Krosoczka, author of the βLunch Ladyβ graphic novel series. School Lunch Hero Day provides an opportunity for parents, students, school staff and communities to thank those who provide healthy meals to nearly 30 million of Americaβs students each school day.
