Officials at Massena Central School District want to make sure every eligible student possible is taking advantage of food-assistance programs it offers.
Massena Central developed a survey for district families to answer. This will broaden the information it has on how many students make use of the government food programs it has and what would is required to enhance childrenâs participation in them. The deadline to fill out the survey is Sunday.
The district wants to increase the number of students using its food-assistance programs by 25% come November and continue this into the next academic year. The services listed in the districtâs proposal to benefit from the Share Our Strength funding are School Breakfast, National School Lunch Program (U.S. Department of Agriculture), NSLP Summer Meals (Seamless Summer Option) and Weekend Backpack Program.
