Chef Heather Biddlecome joined the school district after the school district was named as a Healthy Meals Incentives grantee during the 2023-24 school year.
The school is one of 83 awardees in South Carolina, and one of just 17 in the Palmetto State to have been awarded in more than one of nine focus areas.
Grade levels were assigned different items such as toothpaste, soap and deodorant to collect. The competition was won by the youngest Parker Pride students in the school’s Pre-Kindergarten (4K) classroom.
