The Smith County School System has been providing free breakfast and lunch to all children 18 and younger while schools have been closed for COVID-19, and that program will continue through the month of April.
Last Thursday, the Smith County Board of Education shared the April lunch menu and announced a streamlined meal pickup process.
Starting April 6, 2020, meals will be available for pickup and delivery on Mondays and Thursdays. On Monday, students will receive three breakfasts, three lunches, and three milks for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursday service will be for Thursday and Friday meals.
Meal pickup will now be available at Carthage Elementary, Defeated Elementary, Forks River Elementary, Gordonsville Elementary, Smith County High School, Smith County Middle School, and Union Heights Elementary.
Delivery of meals to families that cannot pick up will continue to be provided. Click here to see Smith County Insider’s feature on teachers delivering meals to students!
Teachers across the county have been busy contacting their students and ensuring that they have the resources they need to begin online learning. Teachers will be providing lessons weekly that are accessible digitally or paper-based that will differ slightly depending on a student’s grade.
During the month of April, the Tennessee Department of Education will also be providing specialized educational programming via Tennessee’s six PBS stations.
