Support Services at WACO
Elementary Food Service
The elementary kitchen in Crawfordsville is staffed by three cooks: Alice Hochstetler, Cedra Schlatter, and Jennifer Miller. Students are always greeted with a smile.
The elementary cooks prepare an average of 241 lunches each school day. Breakfast is also served to students who wish to participate.
In 1999 WACO had a major renovation and addition project at the elementary building. The Crawfordsville cooks are enjoying the recently remodeled kitchen and cafeteria area. The project included new equipment, a remodeled food preparation area, and a re-designed service queue.

Three cooks prepare and serve the meals at the secondary building in Wayland: Jackie Morrow, Pam Davis, and Nancy Mattocks. Jackie Morrow serves as the head cook and oversees the operations at both attendance centers.
An average of 211 lunches are served each day in Wayland. The secondary students and staff enjoy being able to choose between the full lunch menu, a sald bar, or an ala carte line. There is also a breakfast program provided for students who arrive early and wish to purchase breakfast. This service is appreciated by athletes who attend early morning practices or work-outs in the weight room.
