Rich Hill Summer Food Service Program information

Summer Food Service Program

Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch?  There is this summer!  During the school year, kids get nutritious meals at school.  But kids are just as busy, and just as hungry, during the summer break.  Books and teachers may be replaced by playgrounds and games, but kids’ stomachs don’t take a vacation!  The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) helps kids get the vital nutrition they need when school is out.  This summer, a nutritious breakfast and lunch will be served to kids every day, free, right here at summer school.  Meals are open to all the kids, up to the age of 18, in our area.  Don’t miss out on this chance to help keep kids growing strong and healthy all through the summer.

Lost child safely back at home


Earlier today, the Clinton police department was working diligently to get this lost child back to her parents and after many Facebook shares, along with other information received, she is now safely back home.

Thanks to everyone who helped. 

Sunshine today?

 


Depends where you are:

Clouds look to break in KC this morning, but not completely. Partly sunny skies should make for a slightly warmer day than West Central Mo., for example, where cloud cover probably hangs around all day today.
