Your child has been invited to participate in the BackPack Program. This program is a partnership between Velva Public School and the Great Plains Food Bank.
The BackPack Program will provide a backpack full of kid-friendly, shelf stable food for your child to take home and eat over the weekend. They’ll receive foods like cereal, pudding, fruit, granola bars, microwavable meals, snacks and other items. With your approval we will send a bag of food home with your child every Friday while they are enrolled in the program.
Please know that there will never be a charge for this program; it’s entirely funded through grants and private donations.
The Great Plains Food Bank and Velva Public School are not responsible for any allergic reactions due to BackPack product. Please, read all labels before consuming.
If you have any questions regarding this program, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
