She’s Up At 5 A.M. To Feed Students — And Uplift An Entire School In The Process

Osseo, MN — Back-to-school season brings a mix of excitement and nerves — for students, parents and staff alike. Thankfully, Osseo is home to everyday school heroes who help make the transition smoother and the school year a little brighter.

From teachers and tutors to bus drivers, cafeteria staff, crossing guards and more, these caring individuals bring steady support and positivity to our schools. To recognize their many contributions — big and small — Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to salute the unsung heroes of back-to-school.

This submission comes from Brenda Bokusky, who nominated Rosie Boelke of Osseo Senior High.

What should your community know about this person?

Rosie is at school by 5:00 every morning. She helps prep breakfast and lunch everyday with a smile. She leads a kitchen crew of 15 each day with ease. She meets every student with a smile and goes out of her way to make sure every student has what they like to eat. She covered my position when I was out last year with cancer and you would never have known I was gone. She helps every person in the building have a positive attitude everyday. Osseo wouldn’t be the same without her. She is a true blessing to our community.
