"Their example of consistent support
has persuaded other employers in the
community to give our kids a chance,"
he added.
Pizza Hut, under the management of
Diana Stewart, was also the first Gid-
dings business to accept females from
the school as employees.
Stewart is also an active Community
Advisory Council member and serves as
a surrogate parent in the A.R.D. school
program. She has also made presenta-
tions to pre-release students concern
ing job interviews and employer
expectations.
"Pizza Hut also donated a large gas
oven, valued at over $1,000, to the stu-
dent benefit fund," said Bowie, and reg-
ularly provides special discounts for
large functions, such as football ban-
quets or student council meetings.During the three years Stewart has
managed the Pizza Hut, 75 students
have worked for her and have earned a
combined income of $30,000.
"We are grateful to Pizza Hut and
Diane Stewart for supporting the state
school through good times and bad,"
concluded Bowie. "They took the risk
when other businesses decided to sit
back and wait."
