According to the Killeen Independent School District website, beginning on Monday, June 3, kids have the opportunity to eat healthy throughout the summer at no cost.
A partnership marked with giving and continued service continued this season between an elementary school and a local veteransâ organization.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9191 on Zephyr Road in Killeen forged adoption with nearby Ira Cross Elementary School years ago and once again recently, veterans arrived at the school to fill several tables at the front entrance with donated toys.
Post Commander Kevin Williams said that Ira Cross is the closest school to the VFW building so it makes sense to serve the school.
Ira Cross Principal Tomas Sias knows the service-minded veterans go well beyond the call of duty in their contribution. This year the group brought 200 unwrapped gifts to the school.
