Important reminder about school meal applications

Lupe Stone, Richmond's cook, can give you an application to determine your eligibility. You can also pick up an application in Richmond's office or download the income guidelines and application at the Nutrition Services webpage on the PPS website. All information on the school meal application is kept strictly confidential.

Meal cards are purchased in the cafeteria from the cook, Cynthia Taylor, beginning at 7:30 am each morning. Parents may also load their child's meal card with money using the online payment system at MyLunchMoney.com. Click on "Enroll Now" and use your child's student ID number to access your account. Please note that there is a $1.95 transaction charge when using this service.Reduced Price Meals
Information about reduced priced meals is given on the first day of school and is available in the school office. You can also print an application at the PPS Web site.Local Lunches - yum!
Local Lunches are the next step in ongoing efforts to bring more local foods to students eating in our cafeterias. Our district-wide Farm-to-School program began in 2006 with the introduction of Harvest of the Month.
What is a Local Lunch?
Once a month we will serve a meal that is made entirely from local products. Our local region includes Oregon, Washington and Northern California. Check your menu calendar for dates.
What are the benefits of Local Lunch?
- Economic: Our purchases directly support local farmers, bakers, packers, truck drivers, and others within our regional food economy.
- Known source: We know where our food comes from, who raised it, and how it traveled to our doors.
- High quality food and delicious lunches: Foods are fresh or minimally processed and high in nutrients to fuel students' minds throughout the school day.
- Environmental: Food from local sources travels less distance reducing the impact on the environment.
- It’s a step in the right direction: We are working toward the day when every lunch served includes food from our region. We're redesigning the menu one meal at a time.
Want to see more of these great changes in the future?
Encourage your child(ren)to eat school lunch on Local Lunch days! Show your support for change in the cafeteria. Together, we can create lifelong healthy eaters and support the regional food economy.
