BCPS announces aftercare supper program at new sites

Broward County Public Schools participates in the Child Care Food Program (CCFP), a federally funded program, which provides healthy meals and snacks in the child care setting. Students enrolled in aftercare programs at selected schools enjoy a nutritious early supper at school.

Meals meet all USDA requirements and include a milk, fruit, vegetable, grain and meat (or meat alternate), and are offered in the school’s cafeteria. The healthy meals are provided at no charge to students. The new sites begin in September and include Coral Springs High School, Pasadena Lakes Elementary School and Pines Lakes Elementary School.

To find out which schools are included in the program, contact Melissa Albright, Food and Nutrition Services, 754-321-0215 or Ivana Figueroa, Public Information Office, 754-321-2300.
