The Oak Bluffs School is currently participating in a pilot program, the just-in-case" weekend backpack. The intent of the program is to provide students and families with a backpack of non-perishable items to supplement the families weekend meals. The program plans to continue through the December break and hopes that they will have enough resources to continue into the spring.
Programs such as this are common place off-island where school districts coordinate with community resources to assist children who receive free or reduced meals during the school day, with nutritional care packages for the weekend and holiday breaks and vacations.
If you would like information or to receive on of the backpacks, please contact either Helen Hall or Lana Schaefer, (508) 693-0951. All information is kept strictly confidential.
