🎉 CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF DEDICATION! ❤️
Please join us in sending a HUGE congratulations to Kingsborough Elementary's very own Donna Stumpf for reaching an incredible milestone-30 years of dedicated service in our GESD cafeterias! 🍎✨
Donna’s 30-year journey across the district is a true testament to her loyalty and care for our scholars:
📍 19 years at Boulevard
📍 3 years at Gloversville High School
📍 8 years at Kingsborough Elementary (2018–present)
(19 + 3 + 8 = 30 amazing years!) 🐾
Even after three decades, Donna takes immense pride in her work every single day-from the early morning setup and meal prep to feeding our scholars. She loves coming in each day for the opportunity to make a scholar smile, whether it's through a quick conversation or a warm hello in the lunch line.
Anyone who has come across Donna in line will tell you she has a way of making every single scholar feel noticed, cared for, and important before they walk away with their tray.
Thank you, Donna, for 30 years of heart, hard work, unwavering commitment, and community excellence. We are so grateful for everything you do to nourish and uplift our scholars! 👏❤️
A massive shoutout and thank you to the Gloversville Educational Foundation for their generous donation of hundreds of water bottles and headphones to Boulevard Elementary!
Our scholars are working hard every day to demonstrate positive behavior, and now they have some more awesome rewards to aim for when saving up their PBIS points!
Thank you to the Foundation for always being such an incredible community partner and for continuously supporting our school and scholar initiatives. We are so grateful for your ongoing support! ❤️🐾
