South Hamilton's lovin it

Second graders at South Hamilton Elementary in Jewell,Iowa, look over their new salad bar awarded April 3 to the school by the makers of Hidden Valley® ranch dressings as part of the Love Your Veggies™ Nationwide School Lunch Campaign.

In a case of unfortunate timing, I worked at the polls the same day the South Hamilton school of Jewell, Iowa, was honored with the gift of a nutrition award and salad bar from the Hidden Valley Ranch company. Having visited the school last year to see the fruit and vegetable program there, I would have liked to see the event.

Here is the news release about the award. Congratulations to South Hamilton and the other schools awarded the $15,000 nutrition award by Hidden Valley.
