Dear Incoming Kindergarten Families,
This message is for families attending Kindergarten Readiness Camp at Stonehedge Elementary.
Unfortunately, due to a power outage, Kindergarten Readiness Camp for tomorrow, Monday August 12th, is canceled. We will communicate plans for the rest of the week as more information is available.

Many students enjoy breakfast and lunch at school on a regular basis. It is understandable when families find it challenging to provide those meals during school vacations. Please note the following free lunch and food pantry information.
Food pantries partner with the Food Bank of CNY to provide low cost, nutritious food to those in need. The following is a list of food pantries and services available in our community to assist families. To find your appropriate food pantry location and to sign up, contact the Interreligious Food Consortium (IRC) weekdays at 315-474-8855 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Their website is: http://www.ifccny.org/.

CEP allows eligible schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs to offer school meals at no charge to all students.
