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.
