(By Mike Moen. Prairie News Service) – A North Dakota public school is sharing national grant money to help address food insecurity within its student population.
The National PTA says it’s distributing $45,000 to local parent teacher associations around the U.S.
Officials say the recent federal government shutdown prompted real fears about what disruptions to food assistance can look like. That inspired the organization to help schools be more prepared for emergency situations, especially with demand already high.
The Lewis and Clark Elementary PTA in Fargo will share these funds, and the school’s principal Jason Cresap said it’s extra relief that is certainly welcomed by his staff.
