Congratulations for "Going Green" East Valley School District!
Trent, Trentwood, CCS, Otis Orchards and East Farms lunch programs are all composting at this time. The students are learning to place discarded items in the appropriate bins (recycle, garbage, compostable) with help from fellow students and staff. Georjean would like to say THANK YOU to everyone involved!

National School Breakfast and Lunch Program
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federally assisted meal program operating in public schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to children each day. The program was established under the National School Lunch Act, signed by President Harry Truman in 1946.
It is recommended that all East Valley families, who believe they might be eligible for this program, fill out an application. For further information, please visit the following website - http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/Lunch/AboutLunch/NSLPFactSheet.pdf
The 2012 - 2013 Household Application for Free and Reduced-Price Meals will be mailed out on Monday, August 20th, 2012. They are on buff colored paper this year. A new application must be filled out each year to receive benefits OR the family could be qualified for the year by our Direct Cert process, through the state, which is updated monthly. Please call either of the above listed phone numbers with any questions.
The applications will also be available at the schools for families that are new to our district or have moved. The completed applications may be turned in at any of our facilities or mailed to EVSD Nutrition Services, 22300 E. Wellesley Avenue, Otis Orchards, WA 99027.

Why Eat Breakfast?
School breakfast really is the most important meal of the day and provides the necessary fuel to start a day of learning and achievement. Research has shown that children who eat breakfast at school:
• Score higher on standardized tests.
• Get better grades overall.
• Have fewer health issues.
• Behave better at school.
Breakfast is free for all students who qualify for free or reduced meal benefits. If you have questions, please call Denita, at 241-5905.
