It has been a busy summer for GMCS/SFE food service!
We distributed 30,000 meals in the form of 5-day meal kits to many children in the community.

We prepared hot meals onsite at 5 Gallup area parks using our hot dog carts! We served burgers, BBQ, and other kid-approved meals to our community kids!

Plus, we offered hot meals at all 33 GMCS school sites for all children during July. At SFE, feeding kids is our favorite summer activity!

Students used a variety of tools—including digital presentations, posters, Canva design tools, and research strategies—to explore academic content and present their findings through engaging media formats. As part of the process, students also reflected on their learning using the GMCS Graduate Profile, emphasizing key skills such as communication, responsibility, and critical thinking.
