Packs for Kids

Could your student(s) use extra food over the weekend and during school breaks? If so, please sign them up for Sacajawea’s Packs for Kids, which provides extra meals and snacks for our Sacajawea families.

Simply fill out the Packs for Kids form which can be found in the school office. You can also email Charlene Shanahan cyshanahan@seattleschools.org for more information or to sign up.

Your child will receive food packs on Fridays. The food packs contain items such as: instant oatmeal, snack bars, microwavable meals, cereal bars, peanut butter, nuts, milk, and fruit. We are also able to accommodate special dietary needs!
