![]() MELANIE VAN ALST: Doing this for the kids is awesome. They'll be waiting at their regular stops, just two hours later than usual. Today, she's bringing breakfast and lunch to the students on her route. She's been driving Little Falls students to school for three years. Workers load the totes onto waiting school buses. MAROHN: The meals are sealed into Styrofoam containers and stacked in sterilized plastic totes. WINSCHER: What have we got, Mary? - about 1,500 sandwiches to do today. Today, instead of making hot meals, she's preparing boxed breakfasts and lunches that will be delivered to homes along 31 different bus routes. MAROHN: Karen Winscher has worked for Little Falls Community Schools for 22 years. KAREN WINSCHER: Oh, they're all different kinds - bologna, turkey, ham, salami, all the stuff that kids like - with chips and all that. In the kitchen, workers wearing plastic gloves and hairnets are assembling sandwiches. KIRSTI MAROHN, BYLINE: Even though it's not yet 7 a.m., staff and volunteers at Little Falls High School in central Minnesota have been busy for over an hour. Kirsti Marohn of Minnesota Public Radio has this report. Some districts are using them to deliver food. Schools across the country may be closed, but school buses are still on the roads.
