☀️ A Simple Stop Can Make a Big Difference🍎📚
Did you know your child can receive 7 FREE breakfasts and 7 FREE lunches every week through our Summer Feed Program?
📍 Paintsville Elementary – 3rd Street Bus Lane
🗓️ This Thursday
🕛 12:00–2:00 PM
Here's what you need to know:
🍽️ FREE meals for every child ages 1–18
💙 No income requirements
🚗 Convenient drive-thru pickup—stay in your car!
📚 And don't forget to visit our FREE Book Cart, which has been restocked once again with books for children and adults!
Summer is the perfect time to nourish growing bodies and growing minds. Research shows that children who continue reading over the summer are more likely to maintain or improve their reading skills, helping prevent the "summer slide" before school starts again.
Whether you come for the meals, the books, or both, we'd love to see you!
Please help us reach every family by liking, sharing, and tagging someone who could benefit from this opportunity. 💙🐯

📱 Libby– Borrow eBooks, audiobooks, and digital magazines right from your phone, tablet, or Kindle.
🎬 Hoopla – Instantly stream or download eBooks, audiobooks, movies, TV shows, music, comics, and more—with many titles available immediately and no waiting list!

Many families think transition planning begins during a student's senior year of high school.
The truth is, some of the most important decisions are made years earlier.

That's why we're excited to invite families to SPARK: Family, Career, and Transition Night—an evening dedicated to helping students and families prepare for the future.
You'll learn about:
✅ Postsecondary education options
✅ Employment and career pathways
✅ Independent living skills
✅ Community resources and adult services
✅ How families can support successful transitions
Our goal is simple: to help every student leave high school with a plan, confidence, and the supports they need to succeed.
We're also incredibly thankful for the support our community has shown. A special thank you to our first featured door prize sponsors:
🚗 Advance Auto Parts
🥤 Three Sweetie's Nutrition
🚙 Suds Car Wash
These businesses are helping make SPARK Transition Night even more memorable for our families.
⭐ Many other local businesses and community partners have also donated door prizes and will be featured in the coming weeks. Stay tuned as we recognize the organizations investing in the future of our students!
