By the Lincoln School Committee and Becky McFall
The Lincoln School Committee and Administration would like to thank the First Parish of Lincoln and the METCO Coordinating Council (MCC) for helping to bridge the gap of meal assistance over the summer months for Lincoln, Boston, and Hanscom families.
Families receiving meal assistance since the school closure in March received their final meal delivery yesterday from the schools. With these deliveries, families were provided with grocery store gift cards to support families with providing healthy meals for their children through the summer.
The First Parish of Lincoln approved an emergency grant of $14,800 to be used to continue meal assistance to qualifying children in Lincoln and Hanscom through the summer months. These funds will provide lunches for 37 children. The MCC provided $4,000 in gift cards to Boston families supporting eight Lincoln School children. We are extremely grateful for the generosity of our community members.
Sincerely,
The Lincoln School Committee
Becky McFall, Superintendent of Schools
