Festus R-VI School District Hires New Director of Food Services
The Festus R-VI School Board recently approved the hiring of Brooklyn Ragsdale as the new Director of Food Services. Brooklyn comes to the Festus R-VI School District from Lakeland Marketing where she was the School Sales Director. Before that she worked at Kohl Wholesale Food Distributor, a company that supplies food to many area school districts, including Festus.
Brooklyn was born and raised in Quincy, Illinois and moved to Florissant, Missouri two years ago. She has been married for two years and had her first child, Liam, in June. In her spare time she loves to get lost in a good book (she's a huge Harry Potter fan), go to the gym, and play softball (she's been doing it for 28 years.). She says, "I am excited to make the Festus School District my new home and embark on this new journey."
Brooklyn replaces Peggy Carle, the longtime Director of Food Services who retired in May, but has been working in a part-time capacity until a replacement was hired.
