Summer Meals Program
June 21-August 5
Christina School District’s Summer Lunch Crew will be participating in the 2010 Summer Food Service Program from June 21-August 5.  The federally-funded program provides free breakfasts and lunches during the summer months and will be available Monday through Thursday at the sites listed below.  The District’s popular Family Dinner nights will be offered at Bayard Middle School and Bancroft Elementary Schools in Wilmington and Smith, Brader and Leasure Elementary Schools in Newark.  A Family Dinner Night schedule will be available in the near future.

The Christina Summer Lunch Crew meal program is unique in that the meal sites are monitored by Child Nutrition Services personnel during meal service.  Students are served nutritional meals, featuring many of their school year favorites, in a safe environment with trained personnel.

The Summer Food Program is a federal program of the Food and Nutrition Services, United States Department of Agriculture.  This program provides free meals for all children preschool to 18 years of age at no cost to the children.  There are no eligibility requirements to participate in the Summer Meal Program and parents do not need to sign up.  Mothers participating in WIC are also eligible to receive meals.
