We applied for a waiver to some of the rules for feeding our students while we are out of school. Our application was accepted. As of Monday, we will be able to provide a free grab and go lunch and breakfast to anyone under the age of 18 in the District. Meals are available from 11AM to 1PM.
A special shout out to all of our Blue Dragon educators for getting us off to an awesome start with distance education.
Give them a round of applause and show them a little love!
