IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN HOME FROM SCHOOL THIS WEEK, HERE IS A VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM GRADY COUNTY SCHOOLS:
The Grady County School System will provide free meals to local children during the duration of the school closure beginning Tuesday, March 17, according to Grady County school superintendent Dr. Kermit Gilliard. Schools are currently closed until March 30 due to the safety concerns related to the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Nutritious breakfasts and lunches will be delivered by school system personnel to 16 remote locations and will be available for pick up at Cairo High School, Eastside Elementary School, Northside Elementary School, Shiver Elementary School, Washington Middle School, and Whigham Elementary School. At each of the schools, the meals will be available for pickup outside the schools’ front offices. Meals are not being distributed at Southside Elementary School due to its close proximity to Cairo High School, school officials said.
Meals will be available for pick-up at 9 a.m. daily, Monday through Friday, and the remote locations will remain open for a minimum of 30 minutes. The two meals daily are free to children, but adults may purchase the meals for $5. Only cash will be accepted for meal purchases. Children must be present to receive meals.
