MPS provides winter break meals for students

December 18, 2020 By remshatp

Winter Break Meal BundlesStudents and families can pick up packaged breakfasts and lunches plus a Winter Break Meal Bundle ahead of the scheduled holiday break at MPS Stop, Grab, and Go locations. Distribution will take place on December 21 and 22, 2020. MPS recognizes the importance of school meals for students and nutritional support during the holiday break and is working to support those needs.

On Monday, December 21, families can pick up two breakfast and two lunch packages for each student or child age 18 and younger.

On Tuesday, December 22, Winter Break Meal Bundles will be available. Every child age 18 or younger can receive a bundle, which includes recipes. Because several items are refrigerated or frozen, families are recommended to make space in the refrigerator and freezer for safe storage.

Winter Break Meal Bundles will include the following items. Items cannot be substituted in the meal bundles.

  • 1 pound penne pasta
  • 1 large can peaches
  • Frozen items:
  • 1 pound diced chicken
  • 1 quart sliced carrots
  • 1 quart green peas
  • 1 quart blueberries
  • 8 4-oz. cups orange juice
  • 16 pancakes
  • Refrigerated items:
  • 8 8-oz. cartons 1% white milk
  • 8 8-oz. cartons skim chocolate milk

The ongoing Stop, Grab, and Go meal distribution remains popular with Milwaukee families. Distribution of packaged breakfasts and lunches will resume Monday, January 4, 2021.

Milwaukee Public Schools wants to hear from families about virtual learning this school year.

Your feedback is important to us! Please take our survey and offer input about your child’s virtual learning experience this semester, along with your thoughts about returning to face-to-face learning.

As we navigate virtual learning, family feedback is more important than ever. The best way to help us serve students is to take part in our survey as soon as possible.

Please complete our Roadmap to Readiness Survey to help us adapt and plan. The survey takes about 10 minutes and will remain open until Friday, January 8, 2021.

Access the survey at Roadmap to Readiness Survey.

Students should submit entries for the 2021 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration

November 12, 2020 By remshatp

Students should submit entries for the 2021 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday CelebrationMilwaukee Public Schools students should get ready to enter the art, speech, and writing competitions that are part of the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration. The program is open to students in kindergarten through grade 12. Winners will be recognized during the virtual celebration on January 17, 2021.

Next year’s celebration will be the 36th annual event hosted in our community. Milwaukee is one of only two cities that have celebrated the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. annually since 1984.

Students should begin planning their entries to reflect the theme for 2021: Keep Moving Forward. These words were chosen from King’s address given at Spelman College on April 10, 1960. In their entries, students should reflect on this theme and how it relates to themselves or their families, schools, neighborhoods, or world.

The art, speech, and writing contests are open to students who live in the city of Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, or West Bend or are enrolled in a public or private school within the city of Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, or West Bend.

Entries in the writing contest must be submitted by 5:00 P.M. on Monday, November 16, 2020.

Entries in the art and speech contests must be submitted by 5:00 P.M. on Friday, November 20, 2020.

To read more about this celebration and to find the complete rules for the art, speech, and writing contests, visit the MLK Birthday Celebration page on the Marcus Performing Arts Center website.
