CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — "We want to congratulate our kitchen staff because the Kitchen Cops were here. Yes, there is a Kitchen Cops."
A celebration today at Sam Houston Elementary School on Norton.
The cafeteria staff earning their 22nd perfect score from health inspectors since 2009.
Congratulations to Michelle Betancourt, the manager, Mary Jane Pecina, Lupe Prado, and Lydia Serrano.
"And they are going to be showcased on Action Ten News tonight at 6;30 and 10 o'clock."
That announcement, in the school cafeteria, was met with a rousing round of applause from students.
"How does that applause from the kids, how does it sound? How does it feel?"
"It feels great," said Michelle Betancourt, the manager. "It feels like all the hard work is paying off. We love it."
