$17,581. That's the number that was following Deer Valley's families to the lunch line every day.
We flew out to make it disappear. And what we walked into, the nutrition team that has been stretching everything they have, the director who couldn't get the words out, the students who turned the whole cafeteria into a celebration, that's the part we won't forget.
When you take that number off a school's shoulders, you're not just clearing a balance. You're giving families room to breathe and giving kids permission to just show up and be kids at lunch.
DVUSD got that today. One more school to go!
