Dear Parents and Guardians,

As you may be aware, Eldred Schools has been actively pursuing free and reduced breakfast and lunch for all of our students. We were able to secure this funding for our elementary school (GRM), and we will continue to pursue this for the JHS/HS. 

Since one school has the funding and one school is pursuing it, you may be asked to complete two different forms should you have children in both schools. I apologize for this however the rules are made by the funding source and not by us. 

We feel strongly that all of our children and families can benefit from free breakfast and lunch. This is also a positive for our fiscal health. I thank you for your efforts on behalf of our school district. 

Thank you, Mrs. Traci Ferreira, Superintendent
