Mrs. Lewis was publicly thanked at a reception recently hosted by the Lambton Kent District School Board, St. Clair Catholic, Conseil Scolaire Catholique Providence and Chatham-Kent Public Health.
"Your tireless efforts to bring healthy food to children has been greatly appreciated - not only by our students and families - but also by our teachers and principals, who see first hand the benefits of the great work that you do," says Dan Parr, Director of Education for St. Clair Catholic. "On behalf of all of us, thank you."
