SUMMER FOOD SERVICE AVAILABLE
Stressing the importance of offering nutritious meals to children during the summer months, The New Lisbon School District announces the sponsorship of the Summer Food Service Program.
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, provides nutritious meals to children during the summer, when free and reduced-price school meals are typically unavailable. Free meals will be made available to children 18 years of age and under. Persons over 18 years of age who are determined by a state or local public educational agency to be mentally or physically disabled and who also participate in a public or private non-profit school program during the regular school year may receive free meals as well.
The following locations will be serving the free meals this summer:
School District of New Lisbon-Multi-Purpose Room: June 7-June 25, 2021 Time: 10:45-11:30
July 26- August 6, 2021 Time: 11:00-11:30
Meals are provided to eligible children regardless of race, color, national origin, age, gender or disability and there will be no discrimination in the course of meal service.
“This program fills a void created when school lunches are not available,” said Mark Toelle,
Tonight's softball game at Brookwood has been postponed to Wednesday, June 2. Please plan accordingly.

Teaching the importance of community service builds strong connections and provides incredible opportunities for our youth. #RocketPride 🚀
We are SO close to the finish line, Rockets! Let's stay the course, keep practicing safe COVID precautions with mask wearing and distancing as much as possible. If your child is feeling ill, PLEASE have them stay home. We would hate to see our important upcoming events cancelled or students having to be quarantined and miss out on their last sporting events or graduation ceremonies. Thank you for your cooperation. The end of the year is here. #RocketStrong 🚀
Huge shout out to all the workers, sponsors, officials, athletes, fans, and photographers on Saturday at the Mill Haven Invites. It takes a great deal of work to have a track meet. We had 2 in one day and with great success. We learned we did a couple of things wrong, but those were overshadowed by the great things that took place. It was great to see kids having fun at a great event at the New Lisbon Athletic Complex. ~Coach Bever
