While COVID-19 did not keep me from fishing, it did prevent Julia Randall Elementary and Rim Country Middle School kids from participating in the After School Fly Fishers program at both schools for most of the school year.
Normally, the students have two semesters of once a week after school fly-fishing activities to look forward to. In the fall, that includes tying flies for two sessions and then trying the new flies out on the fish at Green Valley Lake during the third weekâs session. This routine continues throughout the semester as they learn new fly patterns, and have the thrill of catching fish on flies that they have tied themselves.
National Lunch Workers Day started in 2020, inspired by childrenâs author and illustrator, Jarrett Krosoczka.
On May 7, Janice Chesser, community health specialist with AZ Health Zone and the Gila County Health Department, visited each school cafeteria to present thank you posters signed by faculty and a few hero gifts from AZ Health Zone to lunch workers.
Workers at Payson schools honored as Lunch Superheroes were: Rosa Vazquez, Teresa Lynch and Cesilia Vazquez of Payson Elementary School; Nancy Yanez, Deborah Hill, Karla Bulfin and Heather Benefield of Julia Randall Elementary; Marla Downard, Yudith Bojorquez and Judy Jordan of Rim Country Middle School; and Christi Oft, Vicki Barwick and Christine Doyle of Payson High School.
