June 2, 2011 - Children up to age 18 will once again have the opportunity to eat nutritious meals for breakfast and lunch throughout the summer - at no cost. Leonard ISD has hosted the summer meal program last year and had a good turnout.

The summer meal program provides nutritious meals at no charge to all children age 18 and younger at Leonard Elementary school cafeteria. To participate, just show up. The cafeteria workers will serve breakfast from 7:30 to 9 a.m. and will serve lunch from 11 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. starting June 6 and going through July 22. Meals will be served Monday through Friday, and the summer meal menus will be printed weekly in The Leonard Graphic newspaper.

This is a child's program, but parents/adults who bring their children have the opportunity to purchase a lunch meal for $3 and a breakfast meal for $1.75.

Those wishing to participate do not need to register or get meal tickets, and no one will ask for proof of income or age.

Anyone with questions concerning the summer meal program should contact Sherry Cooper at 903-587-4012. During the summer program the contact number will be 903-587-4011.
