There IS A Free Lunch, For G.P. Schools

USDA/Public Domain

The story of schools in our times is that many of them have to do without SOMETHING because of budget cuts.

The Grants Pass district just announced free meals for all students this year. 

It's part of a federal program available in Oregon for the first time. 

We hear how it works and how long it might last.
