other locations throughout the North County.<\/p>\n<p>Starting today, we provided over 500 sack lunches for students throughout the district at Airport Elementary, Duschene Elementary, Griffith Elementary, Holman Elementary and Wedgwood Elementary.\u00a0 Students can come to any of these locations through Friday to pick up a nutritious lunch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we didn\u2019t anticipate a delayed start to our school year, I am really pleased with how our staff has come together in such a short time to ensure our kids can have a fun and normal start,\u201d said Larrew.\u00a0 The
