Yes, you read it correctly, FREE breakfast and lunch for ALL students this year!
Through the Community Eligibility Option, Boston Public Schools in partnership with the MA Department of Early and Secondary Education (DESE) will waive all meal fees for all Boston Public School students, regardless of family income status. This means no more meal applications. No more forgetting your lunch money. ALL students in Boston Public Schools will have the opportunity to enjoy breakfast and lunch for free every day at their school.

This summer, Boston Public School has taken a new approach to summer meals. In addition to the summer meals offered at designated summer feeding sites, Boston Pubic Schools in partnership with Preferred Meals has taken this show on the road with a “food truck”. Offering free breakfast and lunch to all youth under the age of 19, this truck is making stops around town at locations such as Franklin Park Zoo, Christian Science Center, and Carson Beach. Check out the article from Saturday’s Boston Globe about Boston’s innovative approach to reach more students with healthy free meals during the summer time.
USDA announced its first round of USDA Farm to School Grantees, totaling $4.5 million in grants
In Massachusetts, Boston Public Schools is one of three projects receiving Farm to School funding from USDA.
Curley Principal Jeff Slater, along with Guidance Counselor Susan Trotz, both instrumental in the success of the project, were thrilled to see their students excited about healthy eating. On the three days the bar operated this year, almost half of the students eating lunch in the cafeteria at the Curley school opted for the salad bar. The bar was stocked with fresh romaine lettuce, baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, sliced red cabbage, bean salads, turkey, ham, and low-fat mozzarella cheese. Served with a choice of milk and whole wheat pita or rolls, the salad bar option is a full reimbursable school meal.

Thompson Island where she accompanied scores of Curley 7th graders while they attending a 3-day overnight Outward Bound fieldtrip:
“Currently there are 50 7th graders on a Boston Harbor Island taking part in the environmental connection program. It takes place at the beginning of every school year.
Located on Thompson Island students participate in team and leadership building activities, environmental awareness activities, and experiential learning.
How quaint. </sarc>
