Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s)
Healthy eating is
important for children. Research states that children who eat three
meals daily are higher achievers in school and have a lower rate of
absenteeism. At Lincoln we work hard to ensure students
receive a healthy snack and lunch each day to support their developing
brains. But, the healthy eating should not stop when money is tight. We
want to help.
Lincoln works with Channel One Food Shelf and Zumbro Lutheran Church in Rochester to provide food to Lincoln families.
If you are interested, any Lincoln child and family are eligible to take home food each Thursday.
A variety of food is available, including peanut butter, juice, bread,
crackers, and fruit. Confidentiality
is important. Bags and backpacks that are provided to transport the
food will be unmarked. We ask that any backpacks that are borrowed to
transport food be brought back to the office on Monday to be filled for the following Thursday.
If you are interested in receiving food through Channel One, or have questions or concerns, please email Amy Krahn at
AMKRAHN@rochester.k12.mn.us or call Lincoln at (507) 328-3550. Your child will be bringing home food beginning on Tuesday November 24.
Sincerely,
Jim Sonju Stephanie Sirek Bridget Dean
Principal
Volunteers at Zumbro Lutheran Channel One Rochester, MN
