Food & Nutrition: All meals served on campus for F2F and LED students are now free until August of 2021. Families, we still need your help. If you haven’t already done so, please go to the OCPS website, and please fill out a meal application for this school year. We can win a breakfast school bus, if we have the most applications entered. Let’s go Wildcats! Don’t forget on Monday from 3:30-5:00 pm, all LED students, please come by to pick up your meals for the week.
Friday, October 30, there is NO school and the building will be closed.
