SCHOOL BREAKFAST PROGRAM
September 28, 2022
Council Rock Community,
Governor Tom Wolf recently announced that all Pennsylvania schools participating in the School Breakfast Program (SBP) will provide free breakfast for all elementary and middle school students for the 2022-23 school year. Because grades K-8 participate in the National School Lunch program, they are eligible for the free breakfast; Council Rock high schools do not participate in the program.
Council Rock will begin offering free breakfast to all enrolled students at the elementary and middle school level starting Monday, October 3 through the end of the 2022-23 school year.
What you need to know:
· No sign-up is required.
· Daily breakfast menus will be available on our menus website.
· Students enter their lunch ID number and get breakfast in the cafeteria upon arrival at school.
· Breakfasts will be pre-bagged and have an optional milk and fruit selection.
· School principals will provide specific information for individual schools shortly.
Additional information about food services at Council Rock, including menus, applications for free and reduced meals, and more can be found online at the Council Rock Food Services link.
If you have any questions, please contact Mike Dengler at mdengler@crsd.org.
Thank you,
Dr. Andrew Sanko
