Woodridge 68 receives anonymous donation

Resident pays off students' outstanding negative food balances

On Tuesday, January 3rd Woodridge School District 68 received a phone call from a Woodridge resident inquiring about outstanding food service balances, the current total amount for all students with a negative food service balance. The total negative balance for students in the district was $489.20.

The resident then expressed a desire to pay off this amount for these students. Within an hour the resident appeared at the district office, presented a check for the amount outstanding, and asked that the donation remain anonymous.

“It is heartwarming to know we have such generous, caring residents in our community,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Cathy Skinner.
