Couple pays $5,495 owed for lunches at Marysville schools [View all]
MARYSVILLE — On Friday, Tom and Christy Lee called the Marysville School District, intending to pay off the lunch money debt for the students at Kellogg Marsh Elementary School. They asked how much debt had accrued.
“We actually figured it would be $2,000 for Kellogg Marsh,” Christy Lee said. “We were shocked when it was only $259.”
They went to the district offices to make their donation. While there, they asked what they thought was the obvious next question: How much would it take to pay off the debt for every elementary kid in the district?
The answer: $5,495 for 262 kids in 10 schools.
They said they’d go home to talk about it, Tom Lee said. It turned out they didn’t need to.
In the car, Tom and Christy agreed. “We already knew we were going to do it,” he said.
“We came home, poured a cup of coffee and called them back,” he said.
