Everyone’s favorite time of day is lunch. But why? Isit the food or is it the people? Dorothy Vaughn, our school salad and wrap bar worker, dedicates her time here to ensure every person has an enjoyable lunch.
Vaughn began her working journey at RB’s. She then went to retail, where she experienced her favorite Job at the Disney department store in the mall (when it was a thing).
Her love for her grandkids and kids in general brought her to Victor, where she worked as her grandkids’ caregiver. Once their need for that was over, she noticed all her siblings were working up at the high school and decided to join them. She has expressed to me that she has enjoyed this job immensely and loves being a part of the Victor family.
Vaughn explained to me that she enjoys this job not only because of the lunch-making but also because of the students. Her favorite part is when the line forms and it’s time to start making their orders. However, when the line gets really busy and sometimes stressful, some other workers will come over to help make things run smoothly.
Mrs. Dorothy explained the option for a turkey with or without tomato, and then the wrap of the day is always available for students to enjoy. Every morning, she prepares fresh salads, wraps, and grab-and-go’s. Vaughn loves getting organized and working with people who make it fun.
Food is fuel, so if you are just as obsessed with the delicious, made-with-love, meals as I am, see Mrs. Dorothy Vaughn.

This article beautifully captures the warmth and dedication of Mrs. Vaughn, making her more than just a lunch worker but a cherished part of the school community. The personal details about her journey add depth, though a bit more structure in the storytelling could enhance readability. The conversational tone works well, but the ending feels slightly abrupt—perhaps adding a final sentence tying back to her impact would create a stronger close. A delightful read that brings appreciation to an often-overlooked role.
