Are there lunch programs at your kid's school?

At many of the schools here, there are both breakfast and lunch programs. In the core area of Winnipeg, thats the only meals some of the kids get.

at madison's school, she has breakfast (which she will not eat) and lunch. their lunch is so early (10:45). they have strted to ask the parents to send a snack for the kids in the afternoon because lunch is so early! (each day a different child brings enough snack for the entire class--18 kids) she gets home at 3:45.

Breakfast and lunch. I am on the reduced meals so it is $3 per child for breakfast and $4 per child for lunch. We have a hard enough time getting up and out of the house in the morning that they eat breakfast at school.

Wow MMP, that seems expensive for lunch and breakfast. Can you give an example of what is included in that price?

Here, breakfast is $.75 and lunch is $1.50. Milk only is $.40.

Oh sorry, that is for two weeks. I should have said that.

We have lunch and breakfast at the school. My kids do not eat the school breakfast and eat the lunch most days. I do not remember the price.

We have both lunch and breakfast at our school. Alex is alowed to eat both once a month. If she wants to eat more than that then she must pay for it herself. She is such a picky eater and wastes so much that I figure if she brings lunch, At least I can control the waste. She likes the lunches we pack better anyway.

Breakfast and lunch is offered at school. Mine don't eat there.

breakfast is served only at the elementary building- which means that the older kids have to get off the buses at the other school, rush to get their food and eat- sometimes in less than 10 minutes and get to the HS in time for class.

Lunch- my kids just don't like the food, they only get 20 minutes for lunch and most of that is waiting in line to be served. I pack them a "snack" and then they eat as soon as they get home.

We don't have a breakfast at our school. We do have lunch and Baylie eats that most days.

Breakfast and lunch are offered at our school. The high schoolers usually eat breakfast and lunch both. My ds usually only eats lunch, but he is thinking about eating breakfast there this year.

It does not cut down on my grocery bill at all, becasue they eat here and then there too!!

We have breakfast and lunch here,
my kids want to eat as soon as they wake up so they don't eat breakfast at school they eat it at home.
This will be the first year the tripelts will be able to get hot lunch but I don't know how many days they will get it it will be way to expensive for them all to get it each day.
My oldest daughter buys lunch amlost every day but in middle school it isn't cool to bring lunch so....but with the triplets wanting to buy lunch too she might have to be uncool some days.
