Beginning Band (for next school year's 6th Graders)

The band program in Worthington is one of our district’s most exciting and vibrant opportunities for students to learn and grow. Please check out www.worthingtonbeginningband.org for more info! Email Ms. Bovaird at kbovaird@wscloud.org with any questions.
Families that qualify for Free or Reduced Lunch, please read (P-EBT cards)
Some of you may have already received a P-EBT card last spring and fall (P-EBT: Pandemic - Electronic Benefit Transfer). These are like SNAP ("food stamp") cards that can be used at any grocery for food. The latest card value may be as much as $350 per child for each school aged child. These cards are automatically mailed to families who qualify for Free & Reduced Lunch from the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services (ODJFS), using addresses that are automatically uploaded from school districts.
This is not a school program, but we want to be sure families recognize this mailing and know how to use it. Please note that unlike many public assistance programs, a SS# is NOT required for eligibility. A child's 4 digit year of birth can be used instead of the last 4 digits of SS# when activating.
P-EBT cards have been mailed recently, or will be soon, from ODJFS. Families: DO NOT THROW OUT THIS MAILING! Be sure to save the card as well because more funds may be added in the coming months!
eBackpack
Please make sure to check out the latest eBackpack for flyers of upcoming activities and events! The eBackpack is updated weekly and always includes the current month's lunch menu.
