Schools get healthier lunches
Placeholder Image
Newton County students are getting something at school that many do not at home, healthy foods and locally grown produce for lunch. The district is one of only 14 in the state that began participating in the "5 Million Meals Campaign Challenge" at the beginning of this school year. Last year Georgia served 3 million meals featuring locally grown produce, and this year Newton County is working to keep its nearly 20,000 students healthy.
