Hot Lunch Project Under Way In G. R. School

[Page 3, The Grand River Local, November 13, 1941]

The hot lunches for the Grand River school children are being served and a exceptional large number of children are receiving the lunches. The number will greatly increase as the weather becomes more unfavorable.

This has been a very worth while project and has met with real favor from the students and parents. Mrs. Margaret Bright and Mrs. Della Woodard will again be in charge of the project with Mrs. Viola Nuzum, Home Ec. teacher as overseer.

This summer a garden project was sponsored and was tended by Alva Hileman and Elmer Munyon. This was not only an exceptionally fine looking garden, but a large quantity of vegetables were realized. Mrs. Bright and Mrs. Woodard spent most of the summer canning them. Space was secured under the Green Corner Store and used in storing the canned goods and vegetables. It would be well worth anyone's time to see this exceptional fine display of goods.

The N. Y. A. girls are helping with the lunches and are doing various work around the school building. Mr. Barnhouse is their supervisor.
