Taylor ISD WILL SERVE UP GOOD NUTRITION FOR LOCAL CHILDREN THIS SUMMER. Bringing healthy summer
meals to Taylor children ensures kids have a healthy vacation and return to school ready to learn.

Taylor – This summer, TISD will connect children 18 and younger and enrolled student's with disabilities up to 21 years old
with healthy, no cost summer meals. The Seamless Summer Option (SSO) is a U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition
program administered in the Lone Star State by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA). For the children who rely on
school meals during the academic year, these meals offer a source of good nutrition when school is out for the long summer
vacation.

insecure children living in Texas, these healthy meals are vital to nourishing young Texans during the summer vacation.

School Lunch Program. Eligible sponsoring organizations include schools, faith-based groups, nonprofit summer camps, government agencies and other tax-
