| Happy Summer Wishes from the Friends of MSC
| Dear Friends of MSC, Well, here we are, we made it. Nobody knew what this school year would look like when we started back in September but, through all its ups and downs, we've made it to June. Our children have grown and learned and our community has become stronger - in no small part because of you! During this especially challenging year we have been inspired by how we all came together to support our school and support one another. Thank you for being a part of this amazing community - you truly are the heart of MSC! As we reflect back on this year, let's celebrate all of our successes and learn from all of our challenges. Let's head into the new year - in person! - taking those lessons with us and forge ahead as a community stronger than ever.
We cannot wait to see everyone in person again in the fall. Until then, have a safe, restful, and happy summer! | - The Friends of MSC Parent Association | |

| | DOE NYC Public School Families to Receive Food Benefits
| The Continuing Appropriations Act of 2021 and Other Extensions Act reauthorized the payment of P-EBT food benefits to households with children who would have received free school lunches under the National School Lunch Act, if not for a reduction in in-person learning due to the pandemic. These temporary food benefits are being provided to help cover the cost of meals children would have otherwise received at school during the 2020-21 academic year.
| Because New York City is a universal school lunch district, all public school families regardless of income will receive the benefits! Families will soon receive up to $1,320 in food benefits to help cover the cost of missed school meals while students learned remotely during the COVID pandemic. You do not (and cannot) apply for Pandemic EBT food benefits. P-EBT food benefits will automatically be issued to eligible children. Read more about it on the NY State announcement and Chalkbeat.
