ANTIGO, Wis. (AP) - A custodian preparing a Wisconsin elementary school for the new year discovered an envelope with lunch money lost more than 30 years ago.
The envelope was found at West Elementary in Antigo, in an area where students hung their jackets and backpacks. The custodian had removed a bench in order to paint a wall and discovered the hidden envelope with $3.60 inside.
It was addressed to Ann Marie Steber, who was a sixth-grade student at the time. Steber, now Ann Mroczenski, of Wausau, says the money was likely lost sometime during the 1985-86 school year.
The money was returned to Mrozcenski's mother by the Mrozcenski's former sixth grade teacher, Ms. Neufeld.
