Manassas City Public Schools Receives State Award

MANASSAS, VA — Manassas City Public Schools was one of six winners in the 2019 Virginia School Board Association Food for Thought Competition, an award created in 2012 to "educate, engage, and empower school leaders to address childhood hunger and provide all students in Virginia with healthier, more nutritious school meals." Winning divisions were recognized Tuesday, July 23, at the VSBA Conference on Education in Richmond.

MCPS received the top award (among divisions with fewer than 10,000 students) in the "Meal Access to Fight Hunger" category for its after-school dinner program. The program began in the fall of 2018 and provides meals to all children from 3:30-5:30 p.m.
