With many @AustinISD students living in food-insecure households, access to healthy meals can be tough during school closures. Families can find free meals in their area through local community resources while Austin ISD schools and offices are closed for fall break.

🚂Today our students returned to our main hallway magically transformed into the polar express. Many thanks to our Mrs. Merriman, Mrs. Kanbe, and amazing volunteers for this labor of love! @AustinISD @Matias_AISD

After reading Maddi’s Fridge, our 1st graders led a food drive and collected items for @CTXFoodBank ! So proud of these young changemakers who turned a story into action. @AustinISD @bethnewton1281 🥫🌟 #ServiceLearning
