Kindergarten students in Okaloosa County will enjoy free lunches for three days in October as part of a special dining event organized by the school district’s food services.

The Okaloosa County School District announced that all kindergarteners will receive complimentary lunches on October 23rd, 24th, and 25th. This initiative aims to familiarize young students with school lunches and promote healthy eating habits.

Stephen Anderson, Program Director for Food Services, encouraged participation in the event. “We encourage all Kindergarten families to take advantage of this opportunity,” Anderson said. He noted that students will be able to explore nutritious meals in a welcoming environment.

The event is made possible through sponsorship from The Nutrition Group’s food vendors, allowing the school district to offer the meals at no cost to kindergarten families.

By providing free meals, the school district hopes to create a positive association with school lunches and encourage more students to participate in school lunch programs.
