We, in the school lunch program, believe that a healthy mind exists in a healthy body, and our philosophy is to offer the best possible value for the food dollar. All school lunches are prepared and served as non-profit items. Lunches sold to the children are subsidized by the State and Federal governments. The food items offered and the size of the portions are mandated by the United States Department of Agriculture and regulated by the New York State Education Department.
Some students pay full or reduced prices for lunch, and others receive free school meals.
In order to be eligible for free or reduced price meals, an approved application form for the current year must be on file at your child's school. Any student who was eligible for free r reduced lunches in the 1998-1999 school year may continue to receive them through September, 1999. However, new applications must be filed each year. This must be done by October 1, 1999. Forms are available at each school building, if you do not receive one by the end of September.
