Fresh For Less
Did you know that your Putnam County School student could buy any fresh fruit or vegetable for thirty five cents?  Yes, you heard it correctly, 35 cents!  While very few items in our world can be purchased for a that anymore, Putnam County’s School Food Service Program remains committed to assisting in developing healthy eating patterns.  We all know that fresh fruits and vegetables are expensive at the grocery store and therefore a lot of children in our school district do not have access.  Beginning July 31, 2010 students can pick fresh choices at breakfast and lunch as part of their meal pattern and also purchase extras for 35 cents!   So help us out and encourage your children to eat wisely and spend wisely!
