Grant helps Roy school build relaxation area

ROY — Students at the Municipal Elementary now have a place to go for a little peace and quiet if they choose.

The school now has a covered bench area in a garden spot to call home during recess or even during the day thanks to a $4,000 grant from Lowe’s Home Improvement Stores.

School counselor Shelley Sheldon heard from another counselor in Montana about the grant, which is usually awarded to middle- to low-income schools. She jumped at it because space is limited in the school’s library for reading and quiet time.

School districts offer free summer lunches

OGDEN -- The summer free-lunch program for children up to age 18 begins Monday in most local school districts.

At schools where 50 percent or more students were eligible for free or reduced lunches during the school year, the meals continue through most of the summer. All local school districts except Morgan have schools that qualify.

"It's so students can have something to eat when school is out," said Charlene King, child nutrition coordinator for the Weber School District. "It's open to anyone 18 or younger, and it's because of the importance of good nutrition."

This year, about 1,000 students of Title 1 elementary schools in Weber and Morgan counties will receive the shoes, thanks to credit union donations and a $10,000 grant from CO-OP Financial Services.
