THE HCS CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAM

NEWSLETTER MARCH 2020

DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE

During this COVID-19 crisis, the HCS Child Nutrition Program staff leaped to the forefront to provide thousands of meals for the students that reside in our district. The hard work and dedication that CNP staff members displayed was unprecedented. We hope and pray that this dilemma that affects the lives of so many people in our great city of Huntsville and across the nation will soon rapidly come to an end. I would like for everyone to please understand and review the parameters that have been directed by our state, local, federal, and district leaders to practice social distancing along with executing the necessary approach to display proper hygiene. Please be safe and protect your family and friends! - H. Ward
