It's more than a Meal!

We strongly encourage parents to complete the Free and Reduced-price Meal Application. Confirmed eligibility establishes a number of benefits for individual students, such as free or discounted college-admissions tests, AP exams, and college applications; scholarship opportunities; and no- and low-cost access to technology and internet plans.

In addition, the percentages of qualifying students at a school are used as a measure to secure additional federal funding (Title I) to support students and their education, promote family engagement, and provide additional technology and internet access. Title I funds pay for additional teachers, additional learning opportunities for students, extra resources, added technology, and more.

Our Beliefs and Philosophy

All students should have a choice of what they eat and never be forced to eat anything, only encouraged.

No types of foods should be "banned". All foods work into a balanced diet.

A balanced diet is viewed over a period of time, not by a single meal.
