Child Nutrition Program
Free & Reduced Lunch Application **
We participate in the Child Nutrition Program,
the
child nutrition program is a federal and state funded program designed to
provide 1/3 of the daily nutritional requirements to students at lunch. This
program enables us to provide nutritious meals to the students at an
affordable price. This program also provides free and reduced price
meals for students that meet the financial eligibility requirements and
it sets the standards and prices for our cafeterias. The school district is
reimbursed for the meals served to eligible students.
**Applications for Free and
reduced price lunch will be sent home with your child the first week of
school If your child was eligible for free or reduced lunch benefits in
June 2007, he/she will continue to receive the benefits through
September 30, 2007
Each meal we serve offers your child a choice , we must provide a
complete lunch with five components to every meal , a bread or starch
, protein ,fruit, vegetables and milk , each student is required to take
three of the components , but we encourage them to take all five.
Our menus are "kid friendly " while complying with the above
requirements. On our menus we offer a variety of fresh fruits, juices
and vegetables with each meal as well as alternative lunch choices in all
our cafeterias.
