Food Service

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Breckinridge County Schools is proud to participate in the School Breakfast Program, National School Lunch Program, and SUN Meals (formerly known as Summer Feeding Program). Through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), all students are eligible to receive breakfast and lunch at no cost at every Breckinridge County school.

Nutritious school breakfasts and lunches are available to all students each school day. Your child is welcome to enjoy school meals every day. Each meal is carefully planned to provide balanced nutrition and includes fruits, vegetables, proteins, whole grain-rich foods, and milk. Our menus meet federal nutrition standards based on the latest nutrition science, helping students stay healthy, energized, and ready to learn. School meals also provide an opportunity for students to enjoy mealtime with their classmates.

School breakfast is an excellent option for busy mornings when time is limited or families have early work schedules. We encourage your child to take advantage and help support our free breakfast program. Starting the day with a healthy meal helps students improve concentration, increase energy, and be better prepared for a successful day at school.

Thank you for partnering with us to ensure every student begins the school day well-nourished, focused, and ready to learn.

Sincerely,

Valerie Dowell

District Food Service Director
