More than 200 children take advantage of the program, which seeks to ensure that children are provided a meal if they need it, and they eat nutritiously, even when they are not in school.
It was a good idea that has turned into an effective tradition each summer, and we commend the efforts of the school system in providing such a service.
It gives children under the age of 18 an opportunity to eat a well balanced meal for free throughout the summer months.
And it sends a strong message to children that they have a special place in Sylacauga.
