Did You Know ......
The Free & Reduced Meal Program helps our school district even if your children choose not to eat with us daily? That's right! The number of students who join this program affects our State Aid Formula, and the assistance we then receive helps keep our prices low and the quality of our food high for every student.

Did You Know .....
The Free & Reduced Meal Program affects our district's Title I Program? The number of students who join the Free & Reduced Program, regardless of whether or not they eat daily, determines whether a school site will be eligible for Title I, which helps educationally- disadvantaged students meet high standards and perform better on the P.A.S.S.: Priority Academic Student Skills.

Did You Know ......

The Free & Reduced Meal Program has never been about poverty or welfare recipients? It's about nutrition! And we're proud to participate in it!  This Program started during WW-II when many of our nation's young men did not qualify for the draft because of malnutrition. Our country recognized a need to provide a way for our children to improve their nutritional health nationwide, so they started the Free & Reduced Program.

Our children are away from us during their school day and it is difficult for us, as parents, to ensure that their nutritional needs are being met during this time of separation. That's where the Child Nutrition Team comes in! It is our privilege to provide quality meals that meet your child's nutritional needs.

We strive daily to provide our students with good nutrition and great education! The Free & Reduced Meal Program helps us to accomplish our goal.
