The Paragould School District has received an Emergency School Pantry and Food Box Program Grant Award in the amount of $25,000! This grant is administered by the Arkansas Food Bank in partnership with the six regional food banks. The purpose of the program is to provide additional food assistance to low income families with children. There will be at least one special food box distribution per week. The food from this program is meant for all family members, not just the children. The Paragould School District is excited about this awesome opportunity to serve our students and their families!
Do not forget that tomorrow is fall picture day at OGE!
