We did it! 🎉 Universal School Meals are coming to NY—free breakfast & lunch for every student, every day! We celebrated with 5th graders at Mill Road Primary in Red Hook, now eligible to join the program alongside Rhinebeck & New Paltz—meaning every school in SD-41 is covered.

Over the past two years, our union has welcomed thousands of new members and at this year’s #NYSUTRA, a few had the chance to share their stories. Learn more: nysut.cc/NYSUTRA25Organ…
