3 Everett Schools To Provide Free Lunch During Teacher Walkout on Friday

Got a message for parents from Mary Waggoner at Everett Schools this morning. There will be free lunch for any student in the Everett School District on Friday. You do not have to be a student at one of the three schools serving the lunch, just a student of the Everett School District who currently participates in the free lunch program. Simply go the the school closest to you…

District to serve students free lunch on May 22 during teacher walkout

Classes are canceled, but lunches are free at three schools from 11:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m.

During the teacher walkout on Friday, May 22, Emerson, Hawthorne, and Woodside elementary schools will open cafeteria doors to students who depend on schools for midday meals.

From 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at those three school cafeterias, students have a sack lunch choice of a cold lunch entrée with fruit, veggie and milk.

Everett Public Schools and other county school districts routinely serve breakfast and lunches to students in the summer as part of a federal summer food program. “We know many of our families depend upon our summer food program, and we anticipate they will also be relying on us for meals when schools are closed on May 22,” noted Superintendent Gary Cohn. “Our food and nutrition department responded very quickly to news of the closure, and I’m pleased that we can offer lunch to families whose children need food.”
