We have always been proud of our #VanguardPride community and this is just one more example of why it's THE BEST! 👍 Back in December, a group of people asked what was the total negative lunch account balance throughout the district and at the time, it was $6750. They decided to put the word out and ask for donations to help eliminate that amount. As of January 10, 2023, the negative lunch balance was $8776 and we received $8767 in donations! WOW!!! Just, WOW! The original amount was surpassed and the donation nearly covered the updated total.💚 Thank you for all of your generous donations! We are truly blessed!🥰
