This Week’s Gundo of the Week is Leilani Talanoa, cafeteria manager at El Segundo High School! 💙
Here’s what her nominator had to say:
“Being fed and ready to learn is a critical part of a student's day, and Leilani always ensures that students are taken care of. She goes out of her way to get to know them and what they want, so that their food options are specific to the students she supports. Leilani makes sure that student choices are varied and delicious, and that her staff does the same thing. Whether it's taking the food out to students on campus or at the gates as they arrive, or handing out food from the cafeteria, Leilani is always looking for ways to make sure students get what they need, all while delivering it with a smile.”
Thank you for being a part of Team Gundo! 👏
