Margaret Elementary recently received a National School of Distinction status from the Schools Fight Hunger program.

Fewer than 2,000 schools nationwide earned this level of distinction in the 2010-2011 school year.  The National School of Distinction status is awarded to schools that demonstrate notable enthusiasm, creativity or dedication in getting involved with the hunger cause

The Schools Fight Hunger program itself is a two-year-old initiative focused on connecting schools nationwide with the hunger cause, helping those schools fight hunger most effectively, celebrating the good work of schools and students.
