  • An Ohio elementary school decided to hold its first-ever "Ice Cream Friday" last week.
  • But there was one rule: No ice cream for students with outstanding school lunch debt.
  • Outrage ensued. A local restaurant owner decided to pay off the school debt, which was about $400.

At an Ohio elementary school last week, Ice Cream Friday got real.

In a message to students and parents posted to Facebook, Donovan Elementary School administrators outlined a few rules ahead of the highly-anticipated event, apparently the first of its kind at the school.

The rules solely targeted kids who have outstanding school lunch debt.
