Free Summer Meals will be provided for children 18 and under at Reagan Middle School. Meals will be provided to the public from May 31st through June 28th. One major difference this year is the District is no longer allowed to handout meals to go. All meals must be served and eaten onsite. Multiple days cannot be picked up and the children for whom the meals are intended must be present and must consume the meal in the cafeteria. Please see the attached flyer for dates, times, and locations.
