Help SCUSD students compete in a national policy debate! The Sacramento Urban Debate League is composed of several public schools including students from C.K. McClatchy, West Campus, and John F.

McClatchy High School is hosting a fundraising event in the theater on March 21 from 6-9pm to raise money for the program. During the fundraiser, three public officials (subject to change) will debate three SUDL students and Asm. Kevin McCarty will be presenting a check to support local debate contenders.

Central Kitchen Mobile Food Truck

Our Central Kitchen food truck is going on tour to our middle schools for breakfast service! The mobile food truck was funded by No Kid Hungry with the goals of improving access to the school breakfast program and summer food service program. The Central Kitchen Food Truck is intended to offer freshly prepared meals that entice our students to participate in a healthy breakfast so they perform better in the classroom. Studies show a balanced breakfast improves student memory, alertness and concentration and decreases behavioral and psychological problems with lower rates of absenteeism and tardiness. Check out the mobile food truck schedule here.
