Each semester, the Kiwanis Club of Vidalia provides selected students from Sally D. Meadows Elementary School with lunch from Chic-fil-A, a visit with the famous Chic-fil-A Cow, and extra time on the playground as a part of the Club’s Bringing Up Grades (BUG) Celebration. Though the celebration was temporarily postponed earlier in the semester because of the weather, the Kiwanians and students were finally able to celebrate a job well done on Friday, December 13.
