From The New Orleans Times-Picayune: The makeover of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School in Slidell, La., has received a boost from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which kicked in almost $1 million more than previously committed for a new cafeteria.

The new cafeteria will be 7,326 square feet and will seat 216 children.
