This prestigious award honors school districts that go above and beyond to expand access to summer meals through creative, student-centered strategies and innovative outreach - and our team truly exemplified that excellence.
This past summer, the ECPS Child Nutrition team served more than 71,000 meals to students across Edgecombe County and continued serving all the way through the first day of school, ensuring our students had access to nutritious meals every single day - even when school was not in session.
A heartfelt congratulations and thank you to Child Nutrition Director Ms. Ruth McDowell and her outstanding team: Sydra Pettaway, Gabrielle Jenkins, and Samantha Arrington. Your dedication makes a lasting difference for our students and families.
