AASD SUMMER FOOD PROGRAM
The Altoona Area School District will operate its annual Summer Food Service Program. The program will begin June 3 and run through July 26 at the following sites: Altoona Area Junior High School, Juniata, and Pleasant Valley Elementary Schools. Sites will be closed on July 4 and July 5.
Meals will be available free of charge for preschool and school-age children, 18 years of age or younger. Adults attending with their children may purchase a meal at a cost of $4.75.
Lunch will be served Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM.
All meals follow USDA school lunch guidelines to ensure they contain protein, fruit, vegetables, bread, and milk. As this is a federal program, funding is dependent on student participation. Visit the USDA website for more information.
Free Breakfast and Lunch for All Students
All enrolled students of the Altoona Area School District are eligible to receive a free breakfast and lunch daily at no charge. Students may continue to purchase additional meals or a la carte items at regular purchase prices.
Any questions regarding the new provision may be directed to Sandy Becker at [email protected] or (814) 946-8270.
