CCUSD's Free Summer Food Program at La Ballona Elementary

The Culver City Unified School is sponsoring its first ever Free Summer Food Program at La Ballona Elementary.

The program will take place from June 24 through Aug 2 (but will be closed on July 4). During that time lunch will be served from 11:30 – 12:30  at the cafeteria.

The program is open to all teens and children under 18, but all food must be eaten on site.  Parents are also welcome to stay and partake in interactive activities that will take place between the hours of 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.

CCUSD Superintendent Dave LaRose sent out an email explaining why the program is so important. In his letter he wrote, “Our kids need to remain healthy, connected, safe and “whole” during the summer months! It has been proven that some students not only miss out on meaningful growth opportunities in the summer, but actually regress and lose academic, social and behavioral skills. This opportunity to eat a free healthy meal becomes even more impactful with the opportunities for students to learn, play games, connect with peers, connect with caring adults, participate in a summer reading program, learn a new skills, etc.

It is our goal to have daily activities for students with a few very special events each week (visits from the Fire Department, athletes, artists, dance lessons, karate, Scouts, etc.).”
