Please carefully read the attached application as there have been changes from the past application. If is important that eligible families apply in order to ensure children are receiving a nutritious breakfast and lunch on a daily basis. Experts say that children who don t get basic nutrition every day don t achieve as well in school as those who do get good nutrition. It is also vital for our school district to identify all students who are eligible for free and reduced lunch, even if your child does not use our food service program (i.e. Panther Pre-School children who walk home for lunch, and children who bring their own lunch). Free and reduced numbers directly impact the state aid we receive for several school programs. All applications and information gathered will be private and confidential. Children s names are kept confidential and no identifying information regarding free or reduced-price meals appears on the computer used in the lunch rooms. Please send applications to: Sharlene Kreye, School Nurse Ellsworth Community School District P.O.
