We know that children need a healthy breakfast and lunch in order to have energy for learning. Food Services staff takes pride and joy in ensuring that all children receive a nutritious and tasty meal at school. Some of our schools participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which provides free meals to all students at that school.
