Give a big shoutout to Ashlee, our Middle/High School Cook! A proud Merrill local, Ashlee joined our district during the 2024–2025 school year and quickly became a cherished member of our team.
For Ashlee, the best part of every day is seeing her "kiddos" come through the lunch line. Off the clock, she loves spending time outdoors—especially when it involves hanging out with her pet goat, Patch!
Her key piece of advice for our students this year? "Don't rush time."
