A fifth grader's fundraiser cleared his school's meal debt. It named an award for him

A Missouri fifth grader has won praise and had an award named for him after he raised more than $7,000 to erase school meal debt in his district
May 29, 2024 at 8:44 PM
Missouri fifth grade student Daken Kramer, 11, stands during an award ceremony on May 21, 2024 at Blue Springs High School in Blue Springs, Kansas. Kramer was concerned about children who owed money for meals at his school. So the enterprising fifth-grader decided to do something about it. Daken posted a video challenging friends, family, even strangers and businesses to pay off the meal debt at the school. The 11-year-old was apparently pretty convincing: He raised more than double the original $3,500 goal — all told, $7,370 — enough money to also cut into the debt. (Vanessa Kramer via AP)
