Wildarts provides arts education programs to New York City students after school and in day camps to promote positive youth development in areas of self-confidence, problem-solving and creative expression. Our programs are currently available at PS 163 Alfred E. Smith School in the Upper West Side.
Wildarts meals are getting healthier!
School Foods, the agency which provides free meals to Wildarts, is transitioning us to the Afterschool Cold Menu to provide more variety of foods, and healthier options for our participants. The change will take place next week.
The Afterschool Hot Menu provided by School Foods is very similar to the school lunches provided during regular school hours. For this reason, meals are often repeated for the children throughout the week. What they may have on Monday for school lunch, they may also have on Wednesday during afterschool meal. With the change to the Afterschool Cold Menu which contains more vegetarian options and a fun Wrap day, students will have more variety throughout the week.
As always, if you are concerned that your Wildarts participant doesn't like the School Foods meals, or has allergies to ingredients, you may send your own meal/snacks with your participants.
