An 'angel' pays down the Bartow County school lunch debt

BARTOW COUNTY, Ga. - Christmas came early for students in one Georgia county who owed money on their school lunch accounts.

Bartow County Schools announced Wednesday that an anonymous donor paid nearly $13,000 to eliminate all student meal debt districtwide.

"This is a reflection of the wonderful community that we live in and a blessing to our families, district, and School Nutrition Program!" the school district wrote on their Facebook page.

The district said any outstanding charges as of 2:30 p.m. Monday will be covered with the $12,854.35 donation.
