* Lunch accounts need to be up to date with money so that your students are not charged for lunch or breakfast. If you need to apply for the free/reduced lunch program, please see the website under food service for details.

Hope bags (Panther bags)
We are extremely fortunate to have a community resource called the H.O.P.E Packs Program. This free program provides bags of food for families on a weekly basis and is meant to be kid-friendly, easy to prepare and a supplemental food supply for families. The bags are sent home with your student every Friday, beginning September 9th.
If you feel your child could benefit from this free service, please contact our school counselor, Nikki Arnold at nikki_arnold@plsd.us
Celebrating the path to Awesomeness!
We are all in this together!
