	Shelly Gerstner - Food & Nutrition Manager
	My name is Shelly Gerstner and I am the Wildcat Cafeteria manager.   I enjoy working with the students and seeing their bright, cheery smiles every day!  I am originally from Illinois and moved to Georgia in 2008.  I have a degree in biology and worked in a flavor company for 16 years in research and development.  My husband and I have 2 wonderful children, a son who plays college baseball and a daughter who enjoys competition dance.  I enjoy the outdoors, spending time with family and friends, and watching my kids at their various activities.

 FOOD ALLERGIES

As with any commercially manufactured foods, some may be produced on equipment used to produce other allergen containing products such as milk, soy, wheat, and nuts.  These items are not identified on the serving line.  If a parent wishes, they may come go to the central office food service department and look at the ingredient label notebook, or go on line to the Food and nutrition page and view the labels on line. Parents please make sure the cafeteria manager has your student's account flagged if they have a food allergy.
