Spotlight Mathematician
This week’s Spotlight Mathematician is David Kulansky, father of Sybil and Miriam in Kindergarten and first grade. Mr. Kulansky is an engineer. To him, math has always been fun, and it helps you win at board and card games! He uses math many different ways each day: to calculate area, volume, speed, power, and timing of circuits that end up in tablets, computers, cell phones, and the cloud. He also works on simple applications such as calculating power and reducing power consumption, so that batteries last longer on portable devices. Mr. Kulansky believes that mathematics is a powerful subject because it is useful for almost everything in everyday life.

2019 Summer Meals Program
Childhood food insecurity remains at unacceptable levels across the country and children are most acutely at risk during the summer, when they do not have access to school meals. In 2015, about 3.8 million children received Summer Meals - far fewer than the 21 million children who receive free or reduced price lunches through the National School Lunch Program during the school year. This means that during the summer we are not reaching the vast majority of children who rely on school meals to meet their nutritional needs. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) operates summer meals programs to address this problem.
We are pleased to inform you that our 2019 Open Site Summer Meals Program will begin on Tuesday, June 25, 2019 and run through Wednesday, August 21, 2019. The program hours will vary from location to location. All children 18 years of age and younger who drop in at any of the sites may receive free meals. Parents or guardians do not need to apply to get these summer meals for their children.
Free & Discounted Benefits for Qualifying HCPSS Families
Did you know FARMs is much more than just breakfast and lunch: The Free and Reduced-Priced Meals (FARMs) program provides access to an array of services for qualified families including free and reduced-priced breakfasts and lunches, free SAT and ACT registration, free tuition to take college courses at Howard Community College while still enrolled in high school, free college applications, reduced AP exam fees, reduced costs for a number of services provided by Howard County Rec and Parks, Columbia Association and Comcast, and much more.
