School board approves increase for school lunches
Higher prices, more choices
The Anderson County Board of Education voted last week to increase the price of school lunches by 10 cents for the upcoming school year.
Superintendent Sheila Mitchell said the increase is due to federal requirements, which the district must adhere to. School breakfast will not see a change, she said, as the price will remain the same as it has for the last few years.

School news program a hit at Emma B. Ward Elementary
Get your Daily Buzz
Emma B. Ward Elementary School has worked hard to re-vamp the school’s news program two years ago when they turned it into the Daily Buzz, a program that keeps both students and educators in the loop of the goings-on around campus daily. The school has offered a news program for the last nine years, although Chrystal Darnell and Kim Penn, both teachers at Emma B., took the reigns a few years back and worked hard to make it what it is today.
