Summer Meals

The Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 requires all School Food Authorities (SFAs) to inform families about the availability and location of free meals for students over the summer months through the Summer Food Service Program. This is required even if the SFA is not participating in the Summer Meals Program.

The LEA may fulfill the requirement of notifying the community of locations of summer meal sites, through one of the methods listed below. This may be accomplished through phone calls, flyers or other methods such as, posting on the SFAs website.

Schools or families can use any of the following methods to locate sites that serve free meals to children during the summer:

•  Call 211
•  Call 1.866.3Hungry or 1.877.8Hambre

JES Celebrates hard work on the PSSA’s!

Jackson Elementary students in grades 3rd – 5th celebrated their hard work from taking the PSSA’s. Students voted on how they wanted to celebrate the completion of the state test. They enjoyed an afternoon of dodgeball, kickball, art class, an ice cream celebration and a movie. Fun was had by all and we would like to thank all the teachers and students for all of their hard work during the testing sessions. We would also like to thank the Jackson PTO for donating the ice cream for the celebration.
