TURNOVER HUNGER 2022 (September 6-9, 2022)

For many years, Hamilton Southeastern Education Foundation (HSEF) helped facilitate the PastaBowl, a food drive where local students donated pasta that was distributed to local food pantries the same week as the Mudsock football game. For the second year in a row, we are partnering with Fishers Youth Assistance Program (FYAP), on the Meijer Turnover Hunger food donation program the first week of September. Last year, through generous donations from every school, nearly 27,000 snack items were gathered for the Snack Attack program.

Through Turnover Hunger, we are asking all 22 HSE schools to help fill the shelves of FYAP and local food pantries with targeted food donations by students and staff. Between September 6-9, we are asking the following breakfast, snack, and dinner items to be brought in by building type:

• Grades PreK-4: boxed oatmeal or fruit snacks
• Grades 5-8: granola bars, peanut butter crackers or cheese crackers
• Grades 9-12: ramen noodles or mac and cheese cups

Meijer bags and an informational flyer were sent home with your student today. Thank you in advance for your support!

NBE is pleased to announce the return of the Snack Attack program for those students in need. This program, supported by the Fishers Youth Assistance Program, is designed to provide students a little extra nourishment for the weekend until they can receive a hot meal at school on Monday.

Here's how the program works. Your student will pick up a small sack of food to be taken home over the weekend. The sack is filled with individually wrapped snacks such as granola bars, fruit cups, pop tarts, peanut butter/crackers, Goldfish crackers, etc. The type of snacks will vary each week. Please let us know if your child has a peanut allergy as he/she will receive a special bag of peanut-free snacks.

There is no cost to you or the school. This program is open to students that qualify for the reduced lunch program or have an increased need currently.

To be part of this free program, you must sign up your family online. https://forms.gle/xrKNaxRaLypSqKvV8
