Austintown principal visits local Rotary club

Ben Baldner, principal of Austintown Middle School, recently visited the Austintown Rotary Club to discuss a new project. AMS food pantry is located in a room near the cafeteria and allows students to grab a few items to help out their families as they leave school for the day or weekend. Baldner gave credit to counselor John Hudson and STEM teacher Doug Eisenbraun for getting the project started. Rotarians joined in the effort with a check for $250 to help food purchases from Second Harvest food bank as well as personal products the students need. Above, from left, Baldner receives the check and a book to be presented in his honor to the Austintown Elementary School Library from Richard Begalla, Austintown Rotary Club president.
