SUMMER TO-GO MEAL PROGRAM:
Summer Food Service Outreach: To-go" meals will be located at LHS, CHS, OES, and SRMS offering 5-day meal pick-up on Mondays starting June 10th. Parents must pre-register their children by filling out the form linked below or bringing them to the site when they pick up meals. We will also be operating Lunch and Learn and Lunch at the Library. Those programs don't allow meals to leave the premises, so no additional paperwork is required; however, since some parents may not bring their children to pick up these to-go meals, we must have additional information from them. Please post the flyer found in the Summer 2024 Graphics folder below and also link the form to your Weekly Smores.
