Going into a new school year should be an exciting time for families, but for those carrying a negative balance on their student’s lunch accounts, it can also bring a lot of stress. Thanks to a generous $10,000 donation from Farmers State Bank in Yale, those worries are gone.
The bank’s donation is going directly toward clearing all delinquent school lunch accounts in the district. Because of their kindness, every Panorama student and family will be able to start the upcoming school year with a clean slate and a zero balance.
School lunch debt is something that can quietly sneak up on families and paying it off can be struggle for household budgets.
“We are incredibly grateful to everyone at Farmers State Bank,” said Kasey Huebner, superintendent of Panorama Community Schools. “This donation directly supports our families by ensuring no student starts the school year with a negative lunch balance. School meal costs can add up quickly, particularly for families with multiple children. This generous gift provides a clean slate and much-needed peace of mind as the year begins.”
