We are excited to announce our second #MiSchoolFoodHero – Congratulations to Heidi Leffew, the head cook at Bear Lake School. Heidi's dedication to ensuring all kids are fed didn't start when the pandemic started. Not only does she steam vegetables minutes before lunchtime so they don’t get soggy, Heidi has worked tirelessly to serve nutritious meals to Laker students in-person, curbside, on the weekends and via deliveries. 🌟

“I am blessed to be involved with such a great team here at Bear Lake School from my director on down,” said Heidi. “The last year has been crazy but together we worked it out.”

Food Service Director for Bear Lake Schools, Tim Klenow, nominated Heidi who added, "Heidi is someone who does everything in their power for the good of their students, their community and her family without asking anything in return. I just want her to see that she is making a difference.”

School food service workers continue to provide comforting and nutritious meals to students. Michigan dairy farmers applaud their efforts and want to continue to recognize community members who have gone above and beyond. Know a school #MiFoodHero that deserves recognition? Nominate them before April 30th, 🔗 in bio.

We are excited to announce our first #MiSchoolFoodHero – Congratulations to Dawn Pully, the Food Service Director at Bendle Public Schools! At the start of the pandemic, her team stood on their feet for hours making and packing 500 to 700 to-go student meals a day. Dawn braved the elements alongside of them, distributing food all while trying to make it fun for everyone. 🌟

“The right thing to do is not always the easiest and I definitely learned that over the last year," she said. "This year has made me LOVE my job even more. I want to thank my team for pushing right on through the tough times.”

Dawn was nominated by her colleague Nancy who added, "It is truly incredible what she does for our community and the students. She never stops!"

Michigan dairy farmers applaud their efforts and want to continue to recognize community members who have gone above and beyond. Know a school #MiFoodHero that deserves recognition?
