Meal Applications due Sept. 24 – This marks the first year that our school receives additional federal funds by the name of Title 1 Funds. These federal funds are targeted to school that have a large amount of students who qualify for free and/or reduced meals. We have at least 76% of our students who qualify. It is very important that each year our families submit their meals application forms in order for our school to receive Title 1 funds. Please speak with our Food Service Manager, Mrs. Maria Siqueiros, or her assistant, Isabel Ayon, if you have any questions about the meals application.
