We all know gains are made in the offseason, and summer is a time full of practice and preparation.
While we want our athletes to make gains on the field and court, their health and nutrition remain our top priority. Athletes who are properly fueled not only perform better, but also reduce their risk of injury.
We are excited to announce that we will be providing breakfast and/or lunch to all of our athletes during the month of June as part of our Summer Feeding Program.
We appreciate Belinda Murray and the Clinton School District Food Services for working with the Athletic Department to make this possible for our athletes.
This is just the first step in how we plan to support our athletes’ health and nutrition as we head into the next season.

Summer EBT provides $120 of extra grocery benefits to qualifying families with school-aged children in our community over the summer. Last year, Summer EBT helped 336,000 kids in Arkansas access healthy food while they were out of school. Summer EBT works alongside Summer Meals to keep kids nourished all summer long. Check to see if you’re eligible for Summer EBT. Many children will receive Summer EBT automatically, but some will need to apply. Students ages 5-17 receiving SNAP, TEA, Medicaid Free, or Medicaid Reduced during the current school year should be automatically enrolled. Other students should check to see if they are eligible and need to apply.
