Carlynton food distribution, virtual 5K registration and more around Carnegie, Bridgeville

Carlynton School District food distribution

The Carlynton breakfast and lunch distribution program began Aug. 24. Meals will be distributed at both Carnegie Elementary and Crafton Elementary Schools 10 a.m.-noon. Students enrolled in the Free and Reduced Lunch Program will be provided with both a breakfast and a lunch. (Carnegie Elementary is a CEP school. So, all Carnegie Elementary Students qualify for free breakfast and lunch. For all other students, a free lunch/breakfast is based on whether or not the student qualifies under the Federal Free Lunch Program guidelines. Check with the school for more details.)

Other students may purchase a meal using their MySchoolBucks account or cash to purchase their meal, however, the MySchoolBucks account is preferred for safety purposes. The cost of breakfast is $1.90 and lunch is $2.05.

The free lunch program for students during the summer for both Carnegie and Crafton has come to an end. The St. John’s distribution site will remain open for one more week to ensure a smooth transition.
