Grass Range Public Schools Serve Summer Meals to Youth, PTO Welcomes Families with Open House Dinner

Grass Range Public Schools offered a free USDA Summer Food Program for local youth this past summer, providing meals to children ages 1-18. The program ran from June 1 through August 3, 2026, ensuring students had access to nutritious food during the break.

Following the summer program, the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) hosted an open house dinner on August 17. The event, which began at 6:30 PM, welcomed families back to school. It offered an opportunity for parents and students to meet teachers and prepare for the new academic year.

The summer food program aimed to support families by addressing food insecurity when school cafeterias were closed. The PTO's open house served as a community-building event, fostering connections between families and school staff before classes resumed.

Both initiatives have concluded, with the summer meal program having provided consistent support throughout June and July, and the open house successfully kicking off the school year last month.
