user: Colo. lunch lady fired for giving food to crying, poor kids
She fed a few hungry children, and this Colorado elementary school kitchen manager was fired for her kindness.

Della Curry was dismissed from Dakota Valley Elementary School in Aurora on Friday after being caught feeding kids whose parents couldn't afford to pay for their food, reports CBS Denver.

Students who don't qualify for the free or reduced lunch program should only get a slice of cheese on a burger bun and a small drink of milk, Cherry Creek School District rules say.

Curry, however, doesn't believe that is enough.

"I had a first grader in front of me, crying, because she doesn't have enough money for lunch. Yes, I gave her lunch," she told CBS Denver.

For free lunches in the district, a family of four has to have a household income of less than $31,000. For reduced meals, the threshold is below $45,000.

Curry, who claimed she often paid for some kids' meals out of her own pocket, remained defiant following her dismissal.

"I'll own up that I broke the law," she said. "The law needs to change."

District officials suggested that the children merely forgot their lunch money, but Curry said the youngsters she'd helped came from families who made too much money to qualify for the programs, but didn't have enough cash for food.

She said that if her actions led to a change in the law, then she would "take it in a heartbeat."

Parents were outraged at the decision.

"Do something different than fire her. She's trying to help," said Darnell Hill, the father of one boy Curry fed.

Cherry Creek School District said it didn't comment on personnel issues.

But in a statement, it added that the law "does not require the school district to provide the meal to children who have forgotten their lunch money, that is a district decision."

Q: 6 dead in Mexico resort explosion

Earlier, authorities had said that as many as 20 people could have been injured in the blast.

The explosion was likely caused by a buildup of natural gas that somehow ignited, but the official cause is under investigation, the attorney general's office said.

Police Commander Arturo Guillermo had said earlier that a gas line or stove exploded at the Grand Riviera Princess.

Video from the scene on Mexico's east coast showed debris spilled into a grassy area in front of an area covered by thatched roofs where the restaurant presumably sits.

The explosion happened around 9 a.m. Sunday morning in the lobby of the hotel. Emergency personnel responded and transferred the injured people to an area hospital for treatment.

"Right now we have personnel on site," said U.S. State Department spokeswoman Gini Staab.

The two injured Americans were taken to a hospital, she said. Authorities, including consular agents and a consular officer, were on site at the hotel assisting U.S. citizens staying there, according to Staab.

Ben Schwartz and DeAngelo Williams aren't so great at making Thanksgiving cake

Pittsburgh Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams will be busy playing the Colts on Thanksgiving Day, so he prepared his Thanksgiving meal a bit early — with the help of comedian Ben Schwartz.

In a video for Courtyard, the duo combines every Thanksgiving dish imaginable — sweet potatoes, green beans, turkey — into one "cake." They discuss touchdown celebrations, unicorns and science while creating their Thanksgiving concoction.

Sadly, it doesn't end well. But a Thanksgiving meal is a Thanksgiving meal, no matter if it's intact or not.
