Have lunch with your child at school on Oct. 29. Parents of students in the School District of Oconee County are encouraged to eat lunch at school on Wednesday, Oct. 29 and make a difference in a child’s life. Sodexo, the district’s cafeteria food supplier, understands the importance of feeding children over the weekend, so on Oct. 29; Sodexo will donate half of the cost of an adult meal to the Backpack Program, which sends a backpack of nutritious food home with needy kids for the weekend. Please try to inform the cafeteria manager at the school by Wednesday if you plan to participate. Together we can help children in need of food. Being hungry is not something anyone wants to face. The cost of an adult meal in the School District of Oconee County is $5.50.
