Lunch Order Forms Parents the lunch order forms for February went home today. Please make sure you return them no later than Friday, January 20. Thanks! TO: All Parents RE: National School Lunch Program Applications The Illinois Hunger Coalition found that only 25% of families eligible for free or reduced price meals in the National School lunch Program apply for these benefits. The result is that many students do not partake of available nutritious meals. In an effort to make sure that as many eligible families participate as possible, we are making available the Free and Reduced–price Applications to all families who do not have an application on file. The guidelines for qualifying are liberal, and take into account the number of children in a family. Even qualifying for a reduced price of $0.40 per meal can be a significant help to many families. The guide-lines are:

July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012

Total Household Size (Adults & Children)

Annual Income (at or below) Reduced Price Meals

1 $20,147 2 27,214 3 34,281 4 41,348 5 48,415 6 55,482 7 62,648 8 69,616
