NFL HUDDLES UP TO PROVIDE FREE DIGITAL EDUCATION
The NFL and several of its charitable partners have made digital education and wellness resources available for free for teachers, parents and students across the country to utilize during this unprecedented time when alternate forms of learning are needed. These resources provide additional opportunities to learn outside of school as millions of students across the country are displaced from their classrooms.
The NFL family is taking a first step to rally together to help those who need it most during this time and will be announcing additional relief efforts and financial support shortly. During this past season, the NFL asked our fans and communities to huddle together and give back as part of Huddle for 100. There is no more important time than now to continue this critical message.
As part of this first phase of support, the NFL and its partners have made a number of online resources available to students and families. Click here for those resources.
Free Student Meals
Free Meals are offered to all students during COVID-19 school closure. Minocqua J1 School District and A’viands Food Service have been partnering to provide Breakfast and Lunch to district families by request. These meals are provided at no cost to any family; even if you normally pay full price for school breakfast and lunch, you are eligible to receive free meals during this period of school closure mandated as a result of COVID-19. Children under 18 living in the home, but not attending Minocqua J1, are also eligible to receive these meals.
Families can be pick up meals at one of three sites: MHLT, the Hwy 70 West Baseball Complex pavilion, and the Lake Tomahawk Raymond F. Sloan Community Center. Food service will only be preparing the number of meals requested, so please plan to pre-order meals one day in advance. Staff will be onsite distributing meals at each location from 11:00 am-12:00 pm.
Meal requests should be sent to: mealorder@mhlt.org. Do not call and leave messages in our office requesting meals as we do not have remote access to process these requests. Emailing the above address by 9:00 am on the day prior to meal delivery will be the only way to request a meal.
