The Hollister Schools Foundation presented Hollister R-V School District Assistant Superintendent of Operations, Dr. Sean Woods, with a check for $750 to help pay down student meal debt. 

The money originated from a donation made to the foundation for the use of paying student meal debt by the Branson Masonic Lodge #587.

"We are deeply grateful for the generosity and kindness shown through this donation,” shared Woods. “This is just one of the many examples of how our community comes together to support our students in need, and this donation will go a long way in helping to alleviate the burden of student meal debt."

The Hollister Schools Foundation, originally established in 2009, is committed to breaking down the barriers to learning for students through partnerships and programs that serve the needs of the whole child.
