Your Van Buren Middle School Daily Announcements for Thursday, January 14, 2021:
Wine Via SodaIf you are looking for a bit a laugh, let the story of Soda, the wine-delivering dog, offer you a little comfort:
After Stone House Urban Winery's Lori Yata noticed her dog Soda, who often came to the Maryland winery with her, was missing interacting with the patrons, her daughter-in-law offered up a unique idea to have the "sad" animal receive attention from carry-out customers. "I hopped online and found a vest with side pockets, perfect to hold two bottles of wine," Lori said of how Soda now delivers wine to the waiting customers. "Everyone loves the idea and have come as far as Alexandria and Washington D.C. just to see and have Soda bring out their wine," Lori shared. "This has definitely put some much needed pep in his step during these trying times and smiles on many faces."
All students are eligible to receive free school lunches (a regular lunch) as a result of the federal school lunch program waiver made possible through the CARES act. Additionally, any students purchasing a regular school lunch since the start of the school year will have that lunch cost refunded to their lunch account in the coming weeks.
