The DeKalb County School District served meals to students and families again during an extended school break.
Officials said meals were being served at Stoneview and Flat Shoals elementary schools for several days during the district's winter break, which began on Dec. 20. Students return to class on Monday.
Breakfast and lunch items were available between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
The district is making a habit of feeding students during extended breaks.
Several schools opened during last year's winter and spring breaks to serve food, thanks to funding from an anonymous donor. Vasanne Tinsley, the districts deputy superintendent for student support and intervention, has said the program allows students who depend on meals received at school to continue a largely uninterrupted meal schedule. Hunger has been directly tied to student achievement through several studies.
