Hello Falcon Families,
We have recently been calling and emailing families who owe money to our cafeteria and front office to help replenish our funds. As students do not have enough money on their lunch account they are allowed to charge 3 times. After this, our front office pays for children to have meals. This account is dwindling and we are hoping that you can help to support it by responding to any notices you may receive in a timely manner. This will help us to continue to support children who did not bring money to school for lunch. Thanks for your help!
We are very excited to partner with "Blessings in a Backpack" to feed more children on the weekends as well. We could use help packing food bags on Thursday mornings in April, May, and June to support this new venture. Do you have time to support our school with a hour or two each week? If so, please contact our community liaison, Claudia Hernandez. Thanks for all you do to support North Frederick! We are proud of our student's hard work!
Mrs. Seiss
