We are thrilled to announce that our commitment to ensuring the well-being of our students remains unwavering. Bandera ISD will continue its Friday Food Program, a testament to our dedication to providing nutritious meals for our students.
Key Features of the Friday Food Program:
1. Serving Across All Campuses and B&G Club Teen Center:
Our Food Program will be available not only at all Bandera ISD campuses but also at the B&G Club Teen Center, ensuring accessibility for all students.
2. Free for Children 18 and Under:
We believe in equal access to quality meals for all students. As such, our Friday Food Program is entirely free for children aged 18 and under.
3. Breakfast/Snack and Full Meal Lunch:
The program offers a comprehensive menu, including breakfast/snack options as well as full meal lunches. This ensures that students receive balanced and nutritious meals, supporting their overall health and well-being.
4. On-Campus Dining Experience:
Unlike a grab-and-go model, our Friday Food Program encourages an on-campus dining experience. Students are required to be physically present at any Bandera ISD campus to enjoy their meals.
5. Adjustable Serving Times:
Operating generally from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, the program offers set meal times. The schedule is flexible and may be adjusted as needed to accommodate the evolving needs of our students.
6. Must Eat on Campus Requirement:
Similar to our successful Summer meals program, students are required to consume their meals on campus. This not only fosters a sense of community but also ensures a supervised and safe dining environment.
We believe that this innovative approach to scheduling, combined with the continuation of our Friday Food Program, reflects our commitment to the holistic well-being of Bandera ISD students. By providing nourishing meals and embracing a more flexible school week, we aim to create an environment that supports both academic success and overall student development. The future of education is evolving, and Bandera ISD is proud to lead the way with these progressive changes.
