Note from PEN Class
We would like to inform you that PEN is raising money for wildfire relief. The profits we make will go to the Red Cross Foundation. Wildfires are a big problem, and that is why we are raising money to help all the people affected by wildfires each year. We will be displaying a tree with facts about wildfires by the School Store. This tree will begin with no leaves. Your child can purchase a leaf for one dollar and get a raffle ticket for an additional dollar. 100% of the profit made will go to the Red Cross Wildfire Relief. The prize of the raffle is a Lego bonsai tree (a picture of the Lego is attached below). We are trying to raise as much money as possible for this important cause. The leaves and raffle tickets will be sold at the school store starting on May 12th. The school store is open on Thursday mornings. Thank you for helping with wildfire relief.
Have a great weekend,
Warwick PEN Class
Social Media Matters
Roblox is a game that allows kids to learn skills such as math, budgeting, bill paying and more. It encourages creativity and can be educational and fun. Kids wander around the worlds they create and make new friends.
What to watch out for:
- Chat feature & “in-game” chatting. “Strangers” can try to friend your child. Real “friends” can also bully children through the chat feature. The chat feature can be turned off to prevent this.
- Robucks – there are many pay features that require actual money. Has led to kids blowing savings on a game.
- When other “players” join games, they can create names for their characters which are inappropriate. Character outfits can be a bit mature as well. Language filters can be applied, but lack of moderation can lead to exposure of adult content.
It is recommended that, while this is touted a children’s game, parents continue to monitor, monitor, monitor.

Universal Free Lunch Waiver Expiration
School breakfast and lunch has been available for Central Bucks School District students at no cost since March 2020. Reimbursement for the cost of providing these meals has come through a United States Department of Agriculture Waiver issued to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. This waiver suspended free and reduced lunch eligibility requirements, allowing for universal participation in the National School Lunch Program. The waiver is expected to expire at the end of June.
In anticipation of this, we wish to remind families of the following:
- Eligible families are strongly encouraged to apply for free and reduced lunches. Families may apply through an online application that is safe, secure, and private. Visit cbsd.org/freeandreduced for details. All children in households eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits are eligible for free meals. If you have questions about your family’s eligibility, please send email to Renee Ziccardi at rziccardi@cbsd.org or contact your school nurse.
- When the waiver expires, students may again purchase lunch, a la carte items, or snacks through their MySchoolBucks account. Now is a good time to log on, bring your child’s account up to date if money is owed, and update expired payment information. Review frequently asked questions about school lunch accounts on our website. Your child will not be able to utilize their account to purchase a la carte items or snacks if it is past due. If you have questions about your child’s account, or if you believe the balance information is inaccurate, please contact Renee Ziccardi at rziccardi@cbsd.org.
