Classroom cookies, after-school meal in Shelby Co.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – There will be cookies and milk in the morning and a meal for students in after-school activities.
Tony Geraci, the food service director of the unified Shelby County schools told The Commercial Appeal (http://bit.ly/1aeet2Q ) the late meal isn’t meant to supplant suppers at home. Geraci calls it an additional meal for students involved in sports, band or other extracurriculars.
Geraci started a supper program in the Memphis City Schools two years ago. The breakfast in the classrooms and the after-school meal are new to Shelby County’s school system, which has offered a subsidized breakfast program for years.
