We are excited to announce that we have been awarded a Salad Bars to Schools equipment grant! This grant will provide our elementary school with a salad bar, ensuring students have daily access to fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. The Salad Bars to Schools equipment grant takes approximately one year to fund. This is because the grant is donation based from local, state, and national individuals/organizations. We are in their queue to receive a salad bar, but hope to accelerate our grant funding through direct donations. The total grant amount needed to fund a salad bar at our elementary school is $4,518. Donations for our grant project can be made online at: https://www.saladbars2schools.org/grant/alcona-community-school-district/ For questions and information on how to make a donation by check please contact Kasey Cordes, ACS Food Service Director, at cordesk@alconaschools.net See the complete press release at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tbcNmiDC53oMMrd4k7GldZ8LFMVDP05pxnmfNnMlpv4/edit?usp=sharing
