In December, The Harker School learned that executive chef Steve Martin and his team were being recognized by Ledyard Foods, Inc. for the outstanding food service program they run here at the school.

Joe Rosenthal, executive director of advancement, made the announcement to the school via email, noting that at a recognition dinner in Martin’s honor, Steve Rebottaro, Ledyard Foods, Inc.’s president, said Harker was very lucky to have one of the best food service directors and teams that he and his company have ever been associated with. In addition to the award, Martin was presented with a check to Harker in the amount of $1,600.

According to Rosenthal, the money is to be used to sponsor a student program. Rosenthal ended the email with a sentiment the entire Harker community echoes: “Congratulations, Chef Steve and team for all you do for our students and staff.”
