Kids who owed money on their student lunch account, in one Ozarks school district, no longer have to pay it back. Tuesday, the Ozark Utopia Club gave $2000 to the Ozark School District to pay off all school meal balances.
Utopia Club president, Kay Johnson, says they thought that would be a good way to spend some of their money. Now, she said in a news release, kids can start out the school year in the fall debt-free.
Both Johnson and the club’s treasurer, Sandy McKee, are retired teachers.
The Ozark Utopia Club is a charity organization and hosts the Ozark Craft Fair every fall at Finley River Park to raise money. Funds are distributed to Christian County organizations such as Least of These and the Ozark Senior Center.
