| Summer Meals for Kids |
|
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) was created to ensure that children in low-income areas could continue to receive nutritious meals during long school vacations, when they do not have access to school lunch or breakfast. It provides nutritious and free meals to children 18 and younger during the summer months. School districts and other eligible sponsors may serve as summer feeding program sites.
The Seamless Summer Option (SSO) was created by the federal government as a summer feeding alternative for schools that already participate in school meal programs and wish to continue meal service into the summer.
For a meal site near you:
* Call 211
* Visit summerfood.org
* Text FOODTX to 877-877

| Community Involvement |
One of our 7th grade students, Magnus Sevcik, came up with the great idea to install a Little Free Library in his neighborhood.
The purpose of the little free library is to have a place for people to donate books they own for others to take and enjoy, "everyone can enjoy a good book simply by sharing what you already have".
Magnus got approval for the project from a local Homeowners Association by presenting a speech and handout outlining the project, fund raised and worked to earn $750 for the library, shipping and handling, organized the installation and wrote an article about the library for his community newsletter.
What an outstanding citizen!

| Letter to Key Stakeholders Regarding The New York Times Article |
|
 From Superintendent Dr. Soner Tarim To the Harmony Public Schools Community: A disappointing article on charter schools in this week's New York Times attempts to put Harmony Public Schools in Texas in a context that is not accurate, necessitating this brief response. Many of us at Harmony Schools cooperated extensively with the Times on this story over the last several months, providing documents, interviews, tours and dozens of detailed responses to specific questions in good faith. But, as sometimes happens, the end result was not entirely what we had hoped. See the rest of Dr. Soner Tarim's response here: http://harmonytx.org/news/122/letter-to-stakeholders-on-ny-times-article/
