🍽NOURISHING ALL STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS🍽
The expiration of a federal waiver means families must complete a free/reduced-price meal application to determine whether or not their child(ren) are eligible for meal benefits. Even if you do not believe your children will qualify for free or reduced-price meals, please consider completing an application - meal applications ensure the District is able to receive needed federal funding that directly benefits our students and schools. The District is covering the cost of meals for students who qualify for reduced-price meals.
Complete your family's meal application here: https://www.myschoolapps.com/
On the menu today: breaded chicken, brown rice, sweet potato fries, fresh pear and sliced fresh cucumbers! 🍗🍐🥒
