Long Time Head Start Cook Retires

posted 10/27/20 -- Long-time cook Lillian Baretto has retired from LCCAA Head Start’s kitchen staff.

Lillian has worked in the kitchen for nearly 35 years preparing meals and snacks for thousands of Head Start students. She has been with the kitchen staff as it introduced innovations such as homemade dressings, more freshly prepared items and Try Days.

“She loved cooking and preparing the food for ‘her children,’” said Food Service Supervisor Melinda Gray. “It made her proud she was part of the children’s day.”

Lillian’s last day in the Head Start kitchen was Oct. 21. 

“She passed her knowledge on to the kitchen staff to help us continue serving quality food,” Gray added. “She is really going to be missed here.”
