IMPORTANT NEWS: NEW "BUS STOP" MEAL DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION!
We know the changes to the Bus Stop distribution has been challenging for some of our families. We have made an adjustment, that we hope will help!
Beginning next WEDNESDAY, April 21st, we will resume SIX bus stop locations once a week. HOWEVER, they will serve a large box (5 breakfasts and 5 lunches), along with a whole pizza for suppers (similar to the box we distribute before a long break).
Current meal service (with the one bus/truck stop) will still occur on Monday, April 19th. Beginning Wednesday, April 21st, our new once/week bus distribution will begin. This will NOT effect regular meal service on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays (12:00pm-1:00pm) at our school sites.
