Free summer meals return for Bossier Schools
BOSSIER PARISH, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — Bossier Schools have announced that they will be providing their students with nutritious weekly meals starting in June from four drive-through locations.
According to Bossier Schools, 'any child 18 years of age and younger is eligible for the summer meal boxes, regardless of income. Each box will contain seven breakfasts and lunches that are kid-friendly, meet nutritional guidelines, and are shelf stable, so they do not have to be refrigerated or heated.'
Bossier's 'Summer Superhero' program is being offered at no cost to families by the USDA Summer Food Service Program and administered by Bossier Schools' Child Nutrition department. Parents or guardians will need to complete this registration form for each child.
After registration, parents or students can pick up a summer meal box, starting June 3, every Tuesday from July 1 to July 29, between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., except on July 1.

Bossier Schools says that drive-through sites will be located at:
Benton Middle, 6136 LA-3, Benton, LA 71006
W.T. Lewis Elementary, 4701 Modica Lott Rd
Parkway High School, 2010 Colleen Drive
Princeton Elementary, 1895 Winfield Rd, Princeton
Bossier Schools notes for individuals picking up their summer superhero meal: look for signs in the car or bus line.
'Feeding children during the summer is a challenge for many families who depend on school meals,' said Karla Horton, Child Nutrition Program Supervisor at Bossier Schools. 'Last year was a huge success, and we are proud to be able to offer the summer meal box program again at no charge to ensure that children are properly nourished and fueled throughout the summer.'
Last summer, the Child Nutrition Department at Bossier Schools distributed half a million meals.
