School Lunch Box
This week we served a new menu to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month: Glazed Chicken with Cuban Rice and Beans, Pineapple/Cantaloupe/Mango Salsa, Cornbread and Watermelon with Tajin. One student complimented the cafe staff by saying it "tastes like my Mom's". Thank you. It's the ultimate compliment for a school kitchen!

Curricular Material Assistance Form
Summer Pandemic EBT
Summer P-EBT is for all students determined eligible to receive free and reduced meals for the 2020-2021 school year. This issuance is for ALL National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program students and ALL students that attend a Community Eligibility Provision school. Students and their schools do not need to participate in a summer school program to receive this benefit.
Benefits will be loaded to existing P-EBT cards for each eligible child. A new P-EBT card will be issued to students that have not previously received any type of P-EBT benefit.
Thank you Sarah Stephens for pointing this out to us. In her research, she wanted me to share this with you. Here is a link with some information: https://www.in.gov/fssa/dfr/dfr-policy-changes-and-actions/pandemic-ebt/
Quite a ways down on that page there is a place to click on if you need to change your mailing address or request a replacement card. Hopefully, you will find what you need and will be pleasantly surprised!
