Henry County’s public school system will continue feeding local school children during the summer, according to a report given at the Board of Education’s May 11 study session.
The district’s new schedule begins May 20 with the Seamless Summer Feeding Program which will be at six locations: Hampton Middle, Locust Grove Elementary, McDonough Middle, Oakland Elementary, Stockbridge Middle and Wesley Lakes Elementary. Pickup will be only on Wednesdays, with each student receiving five breakfasts and five lunches for the week. Officials will also continue a partnership with Operation Lunchbox to provide food for children who cannot get to one of the pickup locations.
More than 132,000 meals have been served during the district’s remote learning period, according to the report.
