Haywood Schools Nutrition Department receives grant

The Haywood County School System Nutrition Department recently received an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant for $9,900, according to Superintendent Marlon King, who received a letter from State Department of Education Commissioner Timothy K. Webb. These funds are to be used to purchase a walk-in freezer for Haywood High School.

According to School Nutrition Supervisor Alison Pyron, it will provide additional freezer storage for the school. East Side Elementary School received ARRA funds earlier this year for the purchase of a tilt skillet unit that was installed in the fall.

“Our schools are excited to benefit from these ARRA funds” Mrs. Pyron said.
