It is with great sorrow that I share that we lost one of our employees. Aaron Schmitz, our district Food Service Director, passed away earlier this week.
Aaron and I started at the same time at the school. Although he was hired right before I came on board, we developed a great working relationship within the first couple of weeks. With his experience in the food service industry and his connections within the community, I knew we were in good hands.
What didn’t Aaron do for the district? He did anything and everything to support the students of the district. He was either at events supporting his own children or at events supporting other students in any way he could. He knew just about every student and always had a greeting or a smile to share. His smile and positivity was infectious. I always left a conversation or interaction with Aaron feeling just a little bit better than before.
Although Aaron was the Food Service Director, he was always on the front lines. Every morning he would be handing out milk to the elementary students with a greeting and fist bump. Usually at lunch he would be working the a la carte line in the high school. He took care of business behind the scenes but was always there for the students and his staff.
Our condolences go out to his wife Kim and his children. He was a committed community member that was part of many organizations within the community of Melrose. In life, you can be so grateful to have known a person with the attributes of Aaron Schmitz.
