<strong>Medway</strong>’s Burke-Memorial Elementary School<br />
Officially Opens In-School Food Pantry<br />
Superintendent Armand<br />
Pires is pleased to announce<br />
that a ribbon cutting ceremony<br />
was held today to officially open<br />
the Burke-Memorial Elementary<br />
School’s new in-school<br />
food pantry for students in<br />
need.<br />
“Now that the pantry is<br />
open, we hope we can begin to<br />
offer assistance to some of our<br />
students in need and provide<br />
them with food to bring home<br />
over the weekend,” Superintendent<br />
Pires said. “We are<br />
thrilled to be working alongside<br />
the folks at the <strong>Medway</strong> Village<br />
Church Food Pantry and will be<br />
relying on their expertise as we<br />
move forward.”<br />
Superintendent Pires, Burke-<br />
Memorial Principal Amanda<br />
Luizzi, <strong>Medway</strong> Public Schools<br />
Wellness Director Ryan Sherman<br />
and <strong>Medway</strong> Village<br />
Church Food Pantry Director<br />
Susan Dietrich gathered at<br />
the pantry Friday morning to<br />
launch the new program.<br />
The pantry will be staffed<br />
by parents, students and community<br />
volunteers working<br />
alongside volunteers from<br />
the <strong>Medway</strong> Village Church<br />
Food Pantry.<br />
This past summer, <strong>Medway</strong><br />
Public Schools officials partnered<br />
with representatives of<br />
the YMCA and the <strong>Medway</strong><br />
Village Church Food Pantry to<br />
create a program that would<br />
supply students in need with<br />
food for the weekend.<br />
In January, Stop and Shop<br />
awarded <strong>Medway</strong> Public<br />
Schools a $1,600 grant to help<br />
build shelves, purchase backpacks<br />
and buy food for the new<br />
program.<br />
The optional program will<br />
start by serving a group of<br />
about 15 students. Those students<br />
will be among 50 to 70<br />
children who are eligible for<br />
free and reduced lunches at the<br />
school.<br />
Each week, volunteer staff<br />
will put backpacks full of food<br />
together for the select students<br />
who will benefit the most from<br />

the program. Those students will<br />
go to the pantry before the end<br />
of the school day on Friday and<br />
will receive backpacks filled with<br />
simple foods that students can eat<br />
on their own, like granola bars<br />
and apple sauce, as well as meals<br />
they can prepare with an adult,<br />
like a pasta dinner.<br />

can email Ryan<br />
Sherman at rsherman@medwayschools.org.<br />

program can do so by leaving<br />
