MSBSD Nutrition Services is happy to present our Summer Food Service Program. This free program provides 7 breakfasts and 7 lunches to any child 18 and under once per week. For dates and locations of meal pick-up boxes please see the attached flyer. Scan the QR code or click the attached link to pre-register. Pre-registering does not reserve boxes; it just helps you get through the line faster. Boxes are still first come first serve. Please have room in your vehicle for two boxes per child, one shelf stable box and one freezer box.

Tonight, we had the honor of celebrating 83 incredible MSBSD retirees whose combined years of service have impacted generations of students, families, and staff across our District. Their retirement represents a tremendous loss of experience, knowledge, and dedication for our schools, but also a celebration of careers spent making a difference in kids' lives.

Thank you for the countless hours, the relationships you built, the encouragement you gave students, and the lasting impact you leave behind. We are grateful for your service and wish each of you the very best in retirement.

Congratulations to the MSBSD Retirees of 2025–2026. 🎉

Today is the MSBSD Employee Appreciation Event in downtown Palmer during Friday Fling.

This community-supported event recognizes the incredible work of MSBSD teachers and staff as we wrap up the school year. Families are encouraged to attend and enjoy Friday Fling activities, food vendors, games, bouncy houses, and more.

A special thank you to Mat-Su Health Foundation and our many local sponsors for making this event possible. The event is coordinated by MSBSD and fully funded through community partnerships.
