Enjoying An End-of-School Tradition at Miller Grove ISD…With Lots of History and Pride
When Enola Gay arrived in front of the Miller Grove school, she parked her car and simply followed her nose as well as a steady flow of people heading toward the new school cafeteria. Most of the third-grade class were already enjoying their lunch tray of Hopkins County stew, cheese and crackers, and the older classes would be filing in soon for a decades-long tradition at the country school…the End of School Stew. It’s true that once upon a time the tasty stew was cooked outdoors in traditional wash pot-size quantities, but today it’s easily prepared and served in the air-conditioned comfort of the spacious new cafeteria, located next to the new elementary building. One part of the tradition still holds true…members of the community with ties to the school still drop in for a bowl on “stew day”.
