Even though schools across the country are closed, many of them continue to serve breakfast and lunch to their students. Despite the health risks to themselves, these heroic food service workers continue to provide meals for kids. One woman in Michigan is going above and beyond, and making sure the meal-pick up experience is more than just a daily routine—by serving up smiles and more.

Pattie Guck has been the food service director for Birmingham Public Schools in Michigan for the past six years. Since schools have been shut down, she and her team have been making more than 1,000 meals a day for any students under the age of 18, even if they don’t attend the school. Not only is she and her “dream team” serving up breakfast and lunch, they’re also making sure the experience is fun for both students and parents.
