PE at Alward
We're very busy in PE during the month of November!
- The PE CARES Food Drive is underway! The food drive will continue through November 20. All donations will go to the Holton Community Center. The class that brings in the most food will win PE CARES T-shirts and a class pizza party!
- Turkey Trot shirts and race bibs went home with students this week. If you registered, don't forget to post your trot photos on the Turkey Trot facebook page before November 15, 2020! HPS Turkey Trot
- During PE classes in November, we are learning about nutrition, healthy eating and the food groups. Students are learning about the food groups by playing "Food Group Memory" and sorting the cardboard food into food groups based on the knowledge they learned. Pre-K and Kindergarteners learned the difference between "Everyday Foods" and "Sometimes Foods". Here are some pictures of the students in action!
Be sure to like and follow the Alward PE Facebook page for more photos and updates!

FREE Breakfast and Lunch
On Friday, October 9, the USDA announced that they would be extending the Summer Food Service Program’s free meals for all students at all schools through June 30, 2021. The SFSP is a continuation of the operating rules in place during the spring/summer school closure from March-August 2020.
All complete meals (breakfast and lunch) will be served at NO COST to children 18 and under (or up through age 26 for individuals with special needs).
What comes with lunch? Lunches include protein (meat/meat alternatives), whole grains, fruit, vegetable, and milk. Students can select 3, 4, or all 5 items. The meal must contain a fruit or vegetable to qualify as a complete meal. Students will still be charged for any other purchases like: milk only, bottled water/juices, additional entrees, etc.
Families do NOT have to fill out additional paperwork to receive meals for free. Free/Reduced Meal Applications will still be collected for the purposes of Math/Reading Title I programs, as well as for discounts on athletic fees, testing fees, college application fees, etc. You can apply for meals at www.lunchapp.com.
For our remote learners, the Remote Meal pickup dates, times, and procedures will remain the same but all meals will be free. Remote Learner families will continue to receive a weekly email for ordering.
Visit our website at www.jenhudfood.org for menus and more! If you have additional questions, you can email Food Service at foodservice@hpseagles.net or call (616) 457-2400.
Thank you,
Mary Darnton, Food Service Director
