Patty went through the USD 409 school system and graduated from Atchison High School! Patty is an integral part of the district, and someone that will be hard to replace! When asked what Patty loves most about working for the district she said that she loves being a part of the development of children's futures. And has a hand in helping them with their nutritional needs.
Patty initially started in food service to work while her sons were in school. She moved to the Director position to help make a larger impact in the district.
Patty works from sun up to sun down and wears many hats not just a director. If one of her cooks is sick, she jumps in to make sure that school has enough staff to help serve students, if something breaks she is right there to see what she can do to help fix it, she is always in conversations with parents about making sure their children get what they need if they have allergies and more. When she isn't working, she loves playing with her grandchildren, staying home and puttering around the house or spending time with family.
Patty says, "My favorite quote is, Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengths me". Putting the emphasis on any of the middle words brings a different relief or encouragement for me."
Patty has been married to a wonderful man for 42 and a half years. They have 2 awesome sons, 2 amazing daughter-in-laws and 5 fabulous grandchildren.
Thank you Patty for all your hard work and what you do to support the students, staff and community of USD 409! #weare409
