Britton-Hecla School is asking that our families TAKE ACTION and help the school district to continue providing free meals for all families. Food chain supply issues are continuing to disrupt meal planning and distribution. Please help us by contacting our Legislatures to encourage them to continue to pass the necessary waivers to offer free meals to all students.
Visit www.schoolnutrition.org/takeaction and click the Take Action button as you see in the picture attached to this live feed. Fill out the necessary fields and follow the steps. It only takes a couple of minutes to do.
Thank you for your help!
