Our students in grades Kindergarten to 6th grade participate in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Food Programs. Our students in PreK3 and PreK4 participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program. Snacks are provided for our students in the PreK grades and After School Care Programs.
