CCPS to participate in the Seamless Summer Meals program

JONESBORO - Clayton County Public Schools will be participating in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Seamless Summer Meals program at Lake Ridge Elementary located at 7900 Lake Ridge Circle, Riverdale, GA, 30296.  Neighborhood children between the ages of 4 and 18 will have an opportunity to receive free breakfast and lunch meals during the summer at Lake Ridge Elementary School. Meals will be provided Monday through Friday.  Breakfast and lunch hours will be announced on the Clayton County Nutrition website in late May 2011.

Participants must enter the school through the side entrance of the building. If you are entering the school from Lake Ridge Parkway please make a left at the stop sign, and continue through the bus loop to the parking lot in the back of the building.  Next participants should proceed to the sign-in table at the entrance of the cafeteria for a breakfast or lunch meal.  Once the meal is completed participants should return to the sign-in table to sign out. Groups larger than eight people should complete the “Seamless Summer Outreach Program Interest Assessment” form.  The form can be obtained from the program site or the district’s School Nutrition Office.

Participants over the ages of 18 can purchase meals at a nominal cost of $1.50 for breakfast and $2.50 for lunch. There is a possibility that meal prices may change on July 1, 2011.

The Seamless Summer Meals Program will begin Monday, June 6 and will conclude on Friday, July 1, 2011 at Lake Ridge Elementary.

Please contact the district’s School Nutrition Department at 678-479-0171 for information regarding meal times for breakfast and lunch.
