🧦 YOU KNOCKED OUR SOCKS OFF // A trip through the lunch line became an especially meaningful moment for one Shepherdstown student who was having a difficult time communicating. With kindness and patience, Shep Kitchen Manager Scott Stover helped the student feel comfortable, and by the end of the lunch line, the smiles were plentiful and the conversation was flowing. 💬
That moment is a perfect example of the care Scott brings to Shepherdstown every day. He takes the time to get to know students, share a laugh, and make sure they leave the line with more than just their lunch.
Thank you, Scott, for making our Wildcats feel seen, supported, and cared for each and every day. You knocked our socks off!
