Nourishing Our Scholars
🌟 Building on the Brilliance of Jasper: Nourishing Our Scholars
When the school year ends and summer begins, many students lose regular access to school meals. This summer, Jasper County School District was committed to helping close that gap.
Our Child Nutrition Department partnered with our Transportation Department and Chartwells K12 Food Service to take meals on the road and deliver nutritious meal kits directly to students who requested assistance. Together, our teams delivered meals to students from both the Ridgeland and Hardeeville campuses.
Because students are our future, supporting them means providing the tools and support they need year round to thrive. Nutritious meals do more than meet a basic need. They help nourish our scholars' minds and bodies, supporting learning, growth and a bright future.
A special SHOUT OUT to our Food Service and Transportation teams for making sure our scholars were cared for this summer. Your dedication to serving our students and families is a beautiful example of what it means to be One Jasper Family. 💙💛
This is how we keep Building on the Brilliance of Jasper! 🌟
