Breakfast / Lunches In a Bag
Please note that our free breakfast/lunch service will be changing slightly to better serve you, starting April 3rd. This service is still available at no charge (drive-thru/grab ‘n’ go) to all District families. Matthias' Lot Church (636-388-8242) is also continuing to deliver meals to families that need assistance.
Here are the changes:
*Pick-up will be 2 days a week (Tuesday and Friday). Families will pick up meals (breakfast and lunch) for 3 days on Tuesday and for 4 days on Friday. This way students are getting meals for 7 days a week and families will only have to pick up meals twice a week, instead of five days a week. The first “bulk” pick-up will be this Friday. Families will receive meals for 4 days.
*Pick-up will be at Jefferson Intermediate and Hardin Middle. The pick-up stations are on the same campuses as before, just in different spots. The Jefferson location is already up and running. To reach the Hardin location, please drive around Blackhurst & Hardin (use the back loop). The Hardin pick-up is on the east side of Hardin.
*New pick-up times will be 8:30-11:30 AM (starting April 7th). The later times (and longer time span) will hopefully be better for everyone as well.
