FREE Breakfast/Lunch: What You Need To Know About Getting Reimbursed
Starting this school year, SCHS will be participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. This means that all of our students will be able to receive free, nutritious meals every school day.
Under CEP, SCHS will receive reimbursement from the federal government for providing free meals to all students. This will allow us to simplify meal service and reduce administrative burden, as we will no longer need to collect household applications for free and reduced-price meals.
Deposited funds may be refunded or donated since eligible meals are now covered by CEP. To request a refund, please complete the form by clicking HERE.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or would like more information. We are committed to providing all of our students with the support they need to succeed in school, and we believe that access to healthy meals is an important part of that support.
Donations For The Greater Good
Make a difference to those who need a boost! Check out the opportunities below:
Students are encouraged to bring in their gently used uniforms and SCHS Spirit Wear to Campus Ministry to help our families in need!
Please reach out to Mrs. Dahlgren with any questions.
Thanks to everyone who continues to donate! We had another good week in the clothing drive. We are over 4,000 items for the school year so far. Last school year’s total was 3,013 items...keep it up!
Please bring your gently used clothing items to Room 123 or reach out to O'B for pick up!
