Aldine ISD to provide evening meals to middle school, high school students beginning Sept. 12

Aldine ISD will offer evening meals to students at all middle and high schools beginning September 12. These schools offer educational and enrichment programs for students after school, which enable the At Risk Evening Meal Program to be provided by the Child Nutrition Services Department. There is no cost to the students for the evening meal. The program will operate Monday through Thursday each week during the school year.

Students will receive a variety of meals including an entrée, fresh fruits and vegetables, and a grain/bread along with milk as menu choices. Meals are planned by the Child Nutrition Registered Dietitian and meet all required menu standards of the United States Department of Agriculture.

The school district’s decision to operate the evening meal program provides an educational and nutritional opportunity for students. Academic achievement and good health are beneficial for success.
