A HUGE Thank You to our Food Service department for the Summer Meals Program. During the months of June and July we fed over $4,000 FREE meals. This program is vital for our students. Children frequently lose access to consistent, nourishing school meals when the school year ends. The Summer Meals Program makes sure more kids have access to sufficient nutrition for a healthy, active life.
