We are happy to announce that Gordon County Schools students will once again enjoy free breakfast and lunch at no cost. By participating in the USDA's Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) we eliminate the need for Free & Reduced Lunch applications. Children need healthy meals to learn, and Gordon County Schools will offer healthy meals every school day at no charge to your children. Our food service receives support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender. If you have any questions about this program, or any other activities of Gordon County School Nutrition, please call our offices at 706-625-0786.
This year’s essay theme, “Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday and the Veterans Who Fought for Our Freedom,” encouraged students to reflect on patriotism, the freedoms Americans enjoy, and the sacrifices made by our nation’s veterans. We are proud of Lydia and Bella for representing Gordon County Schools through their thoughtful writing and respect for our country.
