Ms. Talmadge is truly a LifeChanger! Since joining the staff at Albany Community School last year, she has made a remarkable impact on the school's cafeteria. Her meals are not only delicious but also well-balanced, and the students absolutely love them. Ms. Talmadge consistently goes above and beyond to create kid-friendly meals that are both nutritious and flavorful.

Ms. Talmadge also creatively incorporates produce from the school garden into her meals, further enhancing the freshness and quality of the food. She is flexible and accommodating, allowing students, teachers, and community members to use the kitchen as needed. Her warm and welcoming nature has made her a beloved member of the school community, and her positive influence extends far beyond the cafeteria.
