Summer food program to feed Russellville students for free

Any school-aged child through the age of 18 may eat breakfast and lunch free during summer school June 2-13 at Russellville Elementary School.

The school board learned about the summer food service program grant through the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Service at its recent monthly meeting.

The grant covers labor, food and cafeteria supervision.

Breakfast will be served 7:30-8:15 a.m., and lunch will be served from 11 a.m.-noon.

Parents whose children will not attend summer school from 8:15 a.m.-3:15 p.m. to focus on math and communication arts learning, are asked to notify the school each day.
