Submitting Free & Reduced Meal Benefit Forms Can Make Healthy Meals Available to More Students(0)
The Salida School District, Buena Vista School District Food Service and LiveWell Chaffee County are asking parents to submit free and reduced meal benefit forms for the 2012-2013 school year regardless of whether or not they think they will qualify and even if they choose not to participate in the program. Household incomes are significantly lower in Chaffee County than in other areas in Colorado and many people that are eligible for benefits are not filling out the paperwork and therefore, their children are falling through the cracks of these wonderful programs.
Turn in your paperwork before October 1, 2012, to help the school children of Chaffee County be better served.
