Mo Shamali

Kentwood Public Schools (MI)

Submitted by Kris Curtis

This letter is to let you know about a truly amazing person, Mo Shamali, foodservice director at Kentwood Public Schools. Mo has been the director at Kentwood Public Schools for 32 years. In those 32 years, his passion and enthusiasm for his kids has grown more with each passing year, and if you knew him when he started, you would say that seems impossible since he began his K-12 career like a firecracker back in 1992.

Mo has a culinary degree and worked as the Executive Chef at The Amway Grand Hotel and conference center in Grand Rapids, MI prior to coming to KPS. He came to KPS knowing he could make a difference. He was an integral part of supporting both HPS and GLC (Great Lakes Consortium) in their early pioneering days.
