Board honors Patty Cluding after 26 years of service
Summary
Board members honored cafeteria worker Patty Cluding for 26 years with Norwalk City Schools, praising her dedication to students and colleagues and presenting a retirement gift.
The Norwalk City School District Board of Education recognized Patty Cluding on June 16 for 26 years of service to the district.
Board members and staff highlighted Cluding’s daily presence, interactions with students across grade levels and longtime reliability. Brad Craft told Cluding the board’s counting of her service included "two million lunches" and "750,000 breakfasts," figures cited to illustrate the scale of her contribution. Colleagues praised her early-morning work ethic and steady presence, and the board presented her with a gift and well-wishes for retirement.
Cluding declined an extended speech but thanked the board and said she had "really enjoyed every 26" years with Norwalk City Schools. Members invited her to return as a substitute in the future.
The recognition was a ceremonial portion of the meeting; no board action was required.
