Gov. Evers promotes school lunch programs while visiting Holmen High School

Wisconsin’s governor checks out engineering classes, computer studies, and the school cafeteria while making a trip to Holmen High School.

On Monday, Evers was visiting classrooms in La Crosse County for the second time this month, after a tour of science buildings two weeks ago at UW-L. The governor specifically went to Holmen to promote a $120 million plan to offer healthy school meals to more students around the state. 

Evers says he’s advocating for universal school breakfasts and lunches for students, “because if a kid is hungry, he’s gonna have a real difficult time doing his schoolwork.”
