🍎🖤💛 More Than 60,000 Meals Served This Summer! 💛🖤

What an incredible summer for Clinton Schools! Through our Summer Feeding Program, we served more than 60,000 meals to students in our community.

This amazing accomplishment wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of our outstanding Child Nutrition team.

A special thank you to Child Nutrition Director Belinda Murray, Mayra Reck, and the entire nutrition staff for their hard work and commitment to ensuring our students had access to healthy, nutritious meals all summer long.

We also want to extend our sincere appreciation to the Clinton Methodist Church for partnering with us and supporting this important program.

This total includes:
🍽️ Community Meal Boxes
📚 Summer School Meals
🏈 Athlete Meals

This summer marked the first year we offered meals for our student-athletes during practice. While it added extra work for our nutrition staff, they embraced the challenge to ensure our athletes had healthy meals to fuel their workouts and prepare for a successful season.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this program such a success. Your dedication and teamwork made a meaningful difference in the lives of our students and families.

Together, we're nourishing students, strengthening our community, and making Clinton Schools a great place to learn and grow. 🖤💛

📸🖤💛 Smile, Yellowjackets! 💛🖤

Here's to another great year of fueling minds and building futures! 🖤💛
