PHILADELPHIA - Parents and guardians are furious over learning that their children who go to school at Mitchell Elementary School in Southwest Philly did not have their scheduled breakfast and lunch provided for them on Thursday."Five last night I’m in my son's bookbag to get homework and I see a letter and I read the letter and I’m like what.
Nobody showed up to feed the kids," Catrese Hopewell said.In the letter, the school explains food service staff did not report to Mitchell to serve breakfast or lunch.Monica Lewis with the School District of Philadelphia says food in fact was on site but no one was there to distribute it."Everyday meals are delivered to schools the day before.
