with the founda

White House, on
the 2006 chil

The cards, which retail for
$17.95 for a package of 16

from the association's catalog
and also on their website,
www.whitehousehistory.org.
Hutton is also author and
illustrator of the "Sister Maus"
children's book
series, which is
based on colonial
life in the Single
Sisters House on
Salem's campus.
The latest in the
series, "Flowers
for Mr. President"
was released ear
lier this year.
The White
House Historical
Association was
established in
1961 as a non
profit organization to enhance
the understanding, apprecia
tion and enjoyment of the
Executive Mansion; proceeds
from the association's trusts,
publications and other items
are used to fund acquisitions
of historic furnishings and art
work for the permanent White
House collection, assist in the
preservation of the public
rooms, and further its educa
tional mission.

Grant to feed local kids
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Recently, Mark Hairston,
principal at Philo-Hill Magnet
Academy, and Julie Puckett, a
learning-team facilitator with
the school system, visited the
Food Lion store on N.C. Hwy.
ISO to pick up the $3,500
check given by the Food Lion
Charitable Foundation to the
school to pay for food for stu
dents who might otherwise go
hungry on weekends. Lee
Emmons, the store's manager,
and Amanda Zydiak, the
store's customer-service man
ager, presented the check.
"We will utilize that
money to help our children,"
Hairston said. "A big thank
you goes out to Food Lion."
Emmons added, "I'm glad
we're able to help the school
and give them this money. I
look forward to working with
them in the future."
The Feeding the Hungry
grant from the Food Lion
Charitable Foundation will be
used to support the school's
new BackPack program.
Beginning soon, volunteers
from Salem Chapel, a church
in Winston-Salem, will fill
backpacks with nutritious,
nonperishable foods and send
them home on Fridays with
students who are eligible for
free or reduced-price meals at
school during the week.
"Through their generous
donation, there will be some
children who won't be going
hungry on the weekend," said
Puckett.
Puckett applied for the
grant and began working to
organize a BackPack program
for Philo-Hill when she was
the leaming-team facilitator at
the school during the 2011-12
school year. She has since
been transferred to Carver
High School.
Established in 2001, the
Food Lion Charitable
Foundation supports hunger
relief efforts in "communities
served by Food Lion. The
Feeding America BackPack
Program is a national program
that works through ISO local
food banks to distribute food
to children. Locally, Second
Harvest Food Bank of
Northwest North Carolina par
ticipates.
During the 2011-12 school
year, 13 Winston
Salem/Forsyth County
schools participated in the
BackPack program. Another
six more are in the process of
organizing programs for the
2012-13 school year.
