At the end of the 2025-2026 school year, Norton Community Schools in northwest Kansas had about $6,000 in unpaid lunch debt. The meals had been served to students whose families couldn't afford to pay. The district carried the balance.

Then a group of inmates at Norton Correctional Facility heard about it.

Nearly 30 men in a rehabilitation program called Reaching Out From Within organized a fundraiser inside the prison. They donated $3,810 of their own money. Corrections staff added another $457, bringing the total to $4,267.

On August 3, 2026, the men gathered in the prison to present the check to Superintendent Corey Roy. Several told him they remembered what it was like to go hungry as children and how it affected their ability to focus in school. They didn't want that for the kids in their community.

Roy said he was moved by the conversations he had with them, both as a group and one on one.

"I wanted them to know that they made a difference in a positive way," Roy said. "In listening to them, I believe this gave them a chance to reflect and know that moving forward they can make choices that are positive for themselves and others."

Reaching Out From Within is a program for incarcerated people seeking to make lasting behavioral changes and become role models for nonviolence. It operates in prisons across Kansas, North Carolina, and Missouri 💛

Your gas isn't shameful. It's evidence that your gut bacteria are thriving on the fiber your body needs.

That's progress, not a problem.

When your bacteria ferment fiber, gas is the natural result. It's uncomfortable sometimes, but it means your gut is working and your bacteria are happy. 🙂

As the visionary founder and producer of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan, RZA reshaped hip-hop by blending sharp social commentary, philosophy, and innovation. 🎤🌱

Offstage, he brings that same intentionality to his life as a longtime vegan and PETA supporter, encouraging people to think more critically about how their everyday choices impact animals and the world around them. From mindful lyrics to mindful living, RZA’s influence extends far beyond music. vegnews.com/vegan-hip-hop-stars

Enjoy all the Juneteenth festivities this weekend. Especially remember those who dedicated and even gave their lives to obtain and preserve the measure of freedom we all have.

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. It is the longest-running African American holiday, celebrating Black resilience, heritage, and the continuous fight for equality. —National Museum of African-American History and Culture
