We would like to make a correction to an earlier post, we regret that we did not have Jan's number of years correct, she served as a Food Service Worker for the district for 29 years, not 24 that was previously reported, please accept our apologies for the error. Congratulations to Janice Richers on her retirement! Jan has served breakfast and lunch to our students for 24 years, and today is her last day in this role. Jan has decided that today is her last day as one of our valued Food Service Workers for the Wapello Community School District. Congratulations Jan, we wish you well in the future and hope that you enjoy your retirement, you certainly have earned it! #wearewapello #wapellotribepride
