No Hungry Dragons
Over 40 percent of the children in our school district are on the free and reduced lunch program. Sadly, the only consistent meals many of these children receive is at school. On the weekends and during school breaks, these children often do not have enough food to eat at home. With our backpack for kids program, we're hoping to change the situation for children in need by sending home with them each week a backpack or bag with shelf-stable, nutritious and kid-friendly foods and drinks.
It cost only $120 to feed a child in need for the entire school year. If you would like to sponsor a child, please contact Breann Cooper via email at [email protected]. Churches and other groups are welcome to sponsor as well!

Christmas Shop
Elementary aged children often have a hard time being able to shop for relatives during the holiday season because they must be with an adult, normally an adult they are buying for and trying to schedule this shopping trips around already hectic schedules is not easy. This year the Genoa Central PTO will be hosting a Christmas Shop for all the students at Genoa Central Elementary. The items will range in price from 25 cents to 12 dollars and will be gift wrapped and tagged for the children before they go home. This will serve as a fundraiser for the lower elementary playground and No Hungry Dragons.
Project Playground
As many of you know, the outside areas used by our elementary and middle school students are in serious need of work. This is why we started Project Playground. Please see the Project Playground tab for more information.
