Eggert Updates 9/26/25

Dear Families,

What a fantastic week we’ve had celebrating Homecoming Spirit Days! Our hallways were full of color, creativity, and school pride as students and staff showed off their spirit each day. From masquerade day to team colors, it was wonderful to see everyone joining in the fun and building our sense of community.

We’re so proud of how our students embraced the themes with enthusiasm and positive energy. Spirit days are such a great way to create memories, connect with classmates, and show what it means to be part of our school family.

📬 Don’t forget to scroll down for important PTO updates! You’ll find information about upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and ways to get involved.

Thank you for another great week of learning and celebration — we love sharing these special moments with you and your children!

Wishing you a restful and enjoyable weekend!

Go Bills!

Dr. Szczesniak and Miss Hall

A Few Notes About Free Breakfast & Lunch

• Each student is eligible for one free lunch per day. If your child would like an additional item (for example, a second slice of pizza), it is considered a second lunch and must be purchased. To do so, funds need to be available on their My School Bucks account.

• The cafeteria will continue to sell snacks (chips, cookies, ice cream, etc.). These items are not included in the free meal program and also require funds on a My School Bucks account for purchase.

It is essential that anyone who feels they may be eligible for free and reduced meals to fill out the 2025-2026 Free and Reduced lunch application that is available below. Procedures are in place to protect the privacy of students participating in the free and reduced program. Receiving Free and Reduced meals does not solely benefit the student receiving the meal, it also benefits the district community; depending on the amount of need within our district, we will receive/be eligible for additional funding. Completed applications should be sent to J. Schwarz at 4040 Baker Road, Orchard Park, NY 14127. Link for application.
