Parent or caregiver supervision is required for children to take part. Lunches may be taken home to siblings who cannot attend. Lunches will consist of a variety of food items, including sandwiches, crackers, cheese, meat,
vegetables, and snacks. During the final Lunch and Learn on Aug. 3, a pizza party will be held and children will have an opportunity to choose back-to-school supplies provided by Bellevue Presbyterian Church. “Each of the children will have ‘Back-to-school bucks’ (to spend). They can shop for all the supplies they want in the park,” said Eckert. It is necessary for students to be registered for the program so that plenty of food is prepared for all. Students may register at https://tinyurl.com/pvllearn.
