Children do not have to wait until classes are back in session to eat nutritious school food.

A weekly summer feeding program that began June 15 provides free food consisting of all five food groups for youth 18 years old and younger.

“It saves households grocery money because they can feed all of their children at no cost as long as they’re not 19 years of age,” said Jan Kushniroff, director of food services for Grant County Schools.

Jamie and Dustin Fryar of Williamstown announce the birth of their child.

For Zack Anglin and Anthony Sarcione, they just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to play baseball their senior year.

The first-year players joined Patrick Spoonamore, Jordan Perkins and Richard Moore as the teammates spent the end of their senior year on the baseball diamond.

“I got away from the sport, but I got back into it and I enjoyed myself. I wish I had played my whole high school career. It was a good experience,” Anglin said.

“This has been the best experience that anyone could have,” Perkins said.
