Prince of Peace School provides a federally subsidized breakfast program as well as a hot-lunch program everyday. The menu is sent home in the Wednesday Home Folder at the beginning of each month. Each morning, the count for lunch and the next day’s breakfast is taken in homeroom.
Families who are eligible for their children to participate in the “Free or Reduced Breakfast/Lunch Program” are to complete a form per family at the beginning of the school year. It is important for the operation of the cafeteria and other federally funded programs in the school that as many eligible families take advantage of this program.
In addition to the breakfast/lunch program, milk and orange juice are also available either for individual purchase or as part of the meal. As part of the federal program, milk is provided therefore no carbonated drinks are permitted to be brought for lunch.
If a student does not wish to purchase lunch, but chooses to pack, parents are encouraged to provide only the items and the quantity that their child will eat keeping in mind the basic rules of good nutrition. Parents are not permitted to bring a fast food lunch to school for their child. If parents or siblings are planning to eat lunch with a student it is preferred that they order the cafeteria lunch before 8:30 AM or pack a lunch.
