USO volunteers, staff from the USO Missouri and Culver's team leaders handed out Culver's custard sundaes to all Waynesville Sixth Grade Center students and staff on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, in celebration of April being the Month of the Military Child.
Culver's leadership team members flew in from Wisconsin to help serve at the Waynesville Sixth Grade Center and East Elementary. They included Culver's President and CEO Rick Silva, COO Jim Esposito, and Abby Bucchholz, the
social media and digital media marketer. In addition, the local St.Robert Culver’s Owner Shawn Morris helped serve, along with Zachary Henley, Paul Hammell and other team members. USO Executive Director Amanda Schmidt (Missouri and Kansas) and Center Operations Manager Kelly Brownfield (Fort Leonard Wood), USO staff members and USO volunteers also helped serve the custard.
Each year the USO Missouri partners with Culver’s to give away custard sundaes to all students and staff in Waynesville R-VI School schools in celebration of the Month of the Military Child. About 60 to 70 percent of all Waynesville R-VI students are military impacted.
Superintendent Hilary Bales welcomed everyone and thanked them for preparing and serving thousands of sundaes and recognizing all Waynesville R-VI students during the Month of the Military Child.
