For Tahara, the little details count. Every breakfast, lunch, and supper is prepared with care because a nutritious, delicious meal does more than feed students. It helps students feel supported, valued, and ready to learn. Thank you, Tahara, for showing up each day with compassion, pride, and commitment to student success.
