“ We are doing everything we can to help our students during these difficult times . It has been challenging for our staff , but they have stepped up , putting our students first ,” said Michelle Stoffer , food service director for Ridgewood School District .
All three school districts in the county are continuing to provide whatever support they can to the students in their districts . This includes providing meals for the students when they are not in school .
Ridgewood School District provides meals weekly for their students . The students receive breakfast and lunch multiple days each week . Meals can be picked up at the school or delivered by bus .
“ Our meal schedule has changed several times due to our school schedule . We are trying to give our students meal opportunities for the meals they miss during the normal school day ,” Stoffer said .
This includes providing meals for the weekends and the days when students are remote learning . “ I would like to thank everyone who has contributed . Without them it would not be possible ,” Stoffer said .
Jovelyn Metz is the food services director for River View School District . “ Last week we distributed 2,446 meals . We distribute meals to our students once a week . Our bus drivers deliver the meals and meet students or parents at one of our 18 drop locations .”
River View provides three breakfast and lunch meals to face-to-face students and seven breakfast and lunch meals for remote students . Students receive milk for each meal , breakfast juice , healthy breakfast and lunch food items , and plenty of fruits and vegetables .
“ Vegetables and fruits for every meal is a must ,” Metz said .
Friday is the usual distribution day for student meals , but that has changed at times due to weather and holidays . “ Anyone can sign up for this program any time until the end of the school year . All meals are free ,” Metz said .
They can sign up by emailing jovelyn . metz @ rvbears . org or by calling 740-824-3521 ext . 1211 .
“ We would like to get the word out and help our kids and parents ,” Metz said .
Jennifer Andrews , food service director at Coshocton City Schools , said their district is on a full-time face-to-face schedule and that students get breakfast and lunch at the school each day .
“ We also have students who are full-time remote learners . We offer meals from the menu to our full-time remote learners . Parents can call and order meals any day we are in session . The student receives a breakfast and lunch with each order placed ,” Andrews said .
Andrews also said when Coshocton is on a hybrid schedule , the district offers three breakfasts and three lunches that can be picked up on Mondays in addition to the meals offered in the cafeteria .
