It's been a full week since our summer meal program ended, and we are missing the free meals! Looks like other people also noticed, too....check out the summer meal program and food truck featured on the Food Management website! Director of Child Nutrition, Kim Newman, is proud of the progress they've made. "What started out this summer as the school cafeteria making efforts to support our local community has turned into an outpouring of support from the community to our cafeterias. We both have benefitted from the relationship we've formed."
