Graham Families,
Our district would like to utilize our very available free and reduced lunch program, as it upholds many benefits. With the program, free breakfast is available to the qualifying student, as well as reduced or free lunch.
In raising the percentage of families on free and reduced lunches, the district is also benefited. The Graham District will get money grants if the percentage of qualifying families is at a minimum of 40%, but we are currently sitting on 32%. If the district-wide percentage makes it to 50%, all students will be subject to free breakfast and summer meals program for the approved families.
Applying is also very easy. You can pick up papers at one of the three schools or you can visit https://graham.payschools.com and apply online!
Keep in mind that your information is COMPLETELY confidential and only two people in the entire district can see the information that you provide.
Thank you!
Students attending home activities- remember to stop by the concession stand and ask to sign in!!
