A huge thank you to Music with Mar for spending time with us this summer! 🎶💗

The kids absolutely loved music day and it was so much fun watching them sing, dance, laugh and get involved! Music has such a great way of bringing everyone together, and Mar always found a way to get each child engaged.

We're so thankful she shared her time and talent with our students this summer. Thank you, Mar, for making our summer a little more musical! 🎵💗

To help us maintain program integrity and ensure meals are provided to eligible children, we ask that children are present during weekly meal pickup whenever possible. If a child is unable to attend, families will simply be asked to complete a brief information sheet before rejoining the pickup line.

We understand that not every location may be convenient for every family, and we truly appreciate the feedback we receive each summer. Our team works hard each year to provide the best possible access to meals using available district facilities. Some school sites may not be available due to summer construction projects, maintenance, or other campus needs.

Our goal is to continue serving our community and making sure children have access to nutritious meals all summer long. 💚

Please direct any concerns, feedback or general questions to the Food and Nutrition district office 352-797-7028.

Happy 1st birthday to the furriest member of our team 🎉🐾

Sammy didn't know he was going to be a therapy dog, but from day one he stepped into the role and became everyone’s best friend. 💕

He’s still working on his playground manners…and learning not every ball is his 😅… but he’s an instant mood booster who adores the kiddos….always racing to the gate the moment he hears their voices. 🥰

Happy Birthday, Sammy! 💗
