Franklin County School Nutrition Program
Franklin County School Nutrition is an active participant in the National School Lunch and National School Breakfast Programs. These are federally assisted child feeding programs sponsored by USDA that provide free or reduced meals to our students whose families meet the criteria. The program was established under the National School Lunch Act, signed by President Harry Truman in 1946.
The School Nutrition Program operates fiscally independent with the District, paying for operating expenses and administrative costs. We are supported by revenue generated from sales made within our cafeterias as well as receiving federal funds based on our meal participation. This department does not receive any local tax dollars.
As a partner in education, the Franklin County School Nutrition Program contributes to a successful academic experience and encourages a lifetime of healthy eating by providing each student with the affordable opportunity to enjoy meals that are nutritious, appealing, and served by caring professionals in a pleasant environment.
We look forward to serving your children and invite you to visit your child’s cafeteria during the school year.
Eat Breakfast at School!
Recent studies show a link between nutrition and learning. A nutritious breakfast helps students be more alert so they can actively participate in class.
Studies have also proven that breakfast helps improve test scores. Children who eat a healthy breakfast have fewer behavior problems and fewer trips to the school nurse.
SO......
Take time for school breakfast!
Reimbursable Breakfast at $0 to all students this year!
Be a Part of the After School Snack Program
Any students participating in sports, clubs, or any extra-curricular activities that meet after school are eligible for this program.
