Students and staff at Maplewood Elementary School in Greeley on Wednesday morning welcomed a special visitor who announced opportunities for greater access to school meals for all students in the Greeley-Evans School District, as well as students across the U.S. U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack stopped by Maplewood to announce $60 million worth of federal grant funds from two programs to expand support for and access to school meal programs nationwide. In Greeley-Evans School District 6, Vilsack's announcement could mean all students next year will continue to eat for free.
