Good Morning,
Our food services are once again doing the Backpack Program this year starting this Friday, October 5th. Most of you already are familiar with the program but it gives students who might not otherwise have much to eat over the weekend a backpack of kid friendly food to get them through until school on Monday. Some students might have a temporary need, while othes might need the backpack on a regular basis. Students do not have to be recieving free/reduced lunches to be eligible. I have a list of students to start for this week but if you suspect any students who may benefit from this program, PLEASE let me know!
Every Wednesday I give food services a number of backpacks needed for the students in our building. On Friday, I will send a reminder to the students to stop in my office at the end of the day. On Monday morning, those students return their backpacks to me to be used again. Please let me know if you have any questions!! Thanks for all your help!!
Thank you,
Katie Miller
