💰Are you leaving money on the table?
📑Submit your application for free and reduced meals for your student today!
🤔Fewer families than average have filled out the free and reduced application this year.
After nearly 2 years in pandemic mode and the government providing "free" meals to all students, it is hard to get back on budget. We get it.
However, with $10,000 in lunch balances currently, something has to change.
Here are some solutions:
1. If you have not applied for your student to receive free or reduced meals, please fill out the application. If you need help filling it out, we are happy to help. https://www.putnamcountyr1.net/19563_3

2. Create a budget for meals each week or month, whatever works for you.
Breakfast is $2.00. Reduced breakfast is $0.30 per meal.

Full lunch prices are $2.75 per student. Reduced lunch is $0.40 per meal.
An extra lunch is $2.75.
An extra entree is $1.25.
An additional side dish is $0.75.
An extra hot roll or dessert is $0.35.
Extra milk is $0.45.

3. Call and make payment arrangements or send small amounts to start bringing your student's lunch balance down. You can also pay online.
Mrs. Bradshaw can help with applications and is the one to call to set up payment options. She can be reached at 660-947-3361 ext 307 or you can email her at sbradshaw@putnamcountyr1.net

Thank you for your help. We appreciate you.
