Toni Stepanek

Toni grew up in a family that loved to cook. From a young age, she spent a lot of time in the kitchen helping her mom, her grandmother and even her great grandmother. As soon as she was old enough, she joined 4-H and began cooking on her own. While working as an elementary school teacher for 34 years, Toni continued to cook and entertain her family and friends. As she approached retirement, Toni kicked around ideas for ways to incorporate her love of cooking into a second career. To her delight, at LPSC, she found a way to pursue her love of cooking along with her love of working with children.
