The “USD 407 Food Services Department's” Angel Fund is a vital resource supported entirely by donations, enabling the provision of meals to families struggling to cover the costs of their children's school meals. Led by the Food Service Director and Superintendent, the fund aims to strategically help families in need, with disbursements made each semester to effectively reduce negative lunch balances.
To donate to the Angel Fund, individuals or businesses can mail a check made out to USD 407 with a memo for the Angel Fund to the District Office (PO Box 393, Russell, KS 67665) or drop it off in person. Additionally, families can contribute the remaining balance of their student's meal account upon graduation or departure from the district.
For inquiries, please contact Angie McKenna, Food Service Director, at 785-483-2173 or via email at amckenna@usd407.org.

The staff and students enjoyed a wonderful holiday meal at Bickerdyke and Simpson Elementary schools today. A big thank you to the kitchen staff for their hard work and dedication to this special occasion.
First, I want to thank the community for coming out last night to discuss the USD 407 facility needs. There were many great questions and conversations. A takeaway from the meeting is that people felt they were not informed. Because of that, I feel it is important to provide an opportunity for the community to sign up to receive our alerts. If you would like to be added, please complete this short 3-question survey and we will add you to our system: https://forms.gle/rJTdS2yySuDV3FuZ9
