HOUSTON
A volunteer at a Houston-area elementary school who noticed some students were getting a smaller lunch of cold cheese sandwiches is digging into his own pocket to cover $465 in delinquent meal accounts so all the kids can get the same full lunch tray.
“These are elementary school kids,” Kenny Thompson, a tutor and mentor at Valley Oaks Elementary in Houston’s Spring Branch School District, told Houston television station KPRC. “They don’t need to be worried about finances. They need to be worried about what grade they got in spelling.”
