Early spring newsletter:

Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch? There is this summer! During the school year, kids get nutritious meals at school. But kids are just as busy, and just as hungry, during the summer break. Books and teachers may be replaced by playgrounds and games, but kids’ stomachs don’t take a vacation! The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) helps kids get the vital nutrition they need when school is out. This summer, a nutritious lunch will be served to kids every day, free, right here at school. Lunch is open to all the kids, up to age 18, in our area. Don’t miss out on this chance to help keep kids growing strong and healthy all through the summer. Watch for more information before the school year ends!
