Aaron LaGrange serves as the community liaison for the Backpack Buddies program at Spencer-Owen Community Schools.
SPENCER — WRTV works to highlight the unsung heroes in our community each month with the prestigious Jefferson Award for Multiplying Good.
The stores in this room of the school are stocked with donated items and the whole process works like an assembly line. "This is pretty close to my heart," said Spencer Elementary School Assistant Principal Aaron LaGrange."When you commit to a kids, to give them food for the weekend, you need to be in it."
He said if students in the district are hungry, it isn't easy to get to a grocery store. So back in 2017, they started a student assistance fund to help kids feel more confident and be able to maximize their learning potential. LaGrange says this would not be possible if it weren't for the incredible support from the community and nearby businesses.
