Cafeteria News

Mornings can be really crazy…the alarm doesn’t go off…the kids don’t want to get up…there’s no time to eat breakfast before the bus comes…or they’re just not ready to eat. Or maybe your teenager grabs a can of soda and a candy bar on the way to school. If this sounds like your house, we have good news for you.

Breakfast is served at school! School breakfast will energize your child’s day and provide them with a healthy start. A nutritious breakfast helps students be more alert so they can learn more in class, and has plenty of vitamins and nutrients for a strong and healthy body.

Breakfast at school is affordable, too. If you qualify for free and reduced price meals, you also qualify for the breakfast program, with no additional paperwork. You can’t find a healthy breakfast at such a low cost anywhere else. So help your child start the day right with school breakfast!

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

Together with school meals, SNAP helps kids get the food they need.

SNAP provides monthly benefits families can use at grocery stores and farmers markets. It also helps our school receive additional funding that benefits students. To learn if your family is eligible, visit SNAPHelpNY.org or text SNAPNY to 844-366-3435 and answer a few, simple questions. It is free and confidential. In less than five minutes, you will learn if you may be eligible and how to apply for SNAP at myBenefits.NY.Gov.
