The history club, along with the foods class and the advanced foods class have worked in preparing a meal consisting of chili or chicken noodle soup, a roll, crackers and a dessert.

The purpose of these meals is to foster a partnership between the American Legion and the Davis County High School as well as to encourage student participation in their community. The proceeds will go to the American Legion as well as the clubs/organizations that have helped in the planning, preparation and serving of the meal.
