For 16 years, Sarah Fiacco relished her job as a stay-at-home mom and built a successful home bakery business in Virginia. But when she and her husband, a lieutenant colonel in the US Air Force, moved to Alabama last year, she became a lunch lady. “Never did I imagine at 40 years old I’d be working in my kids' school cafeteria full-time,” she wrote on Facebook. “But, I’m here to say in less than two weeks, I already have a deeper sense of satisfaction than I’ve ever had." She was mid shift when Olivia, a kindergarten student, approached her holding a piece of paper that said “Thank you! For the lunch. From Olivia.” Fiacco hung the note on her bathroom mirror as a reminder that she is making a difference every day.
