Dear Cheverus Parents and Caregivers, We want to update you with exciting news about universal free school meals. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has decided to extend free school meals for all students through the 2023-2024 school year! This means that lunch will continue to be served at no cost to all students. In addition, please consider applying for SNAP, the federal nutrition program that provides eligible residents with monthly financial assistance to purchase groceries. More SNAP information can be found at gettingsnap.org or by calling Project Bread’s Food Source Hotline at 1-800-645-8333. The food and nutrition department at Cheverus Catholic School thanks you for your patience awaiting this news! As always, we are grateful for the opportunity to provide nourishing and healthy meals to all Cheverus students so please reach out to us with any questions or concerns. Important Details: To have accurate lunch counts, forecast ordering and lunch preparation, we ask that you still fill out a monthly lunch order form with your child’s selection and return it to school by the due date noted on the top. This will ensure that your child will receive a school lunch on dates selected. Attached is a lunch order form for September, note one type of lunch is offered daily. Please reach out with any questions you may have. Your children are the reason we do our jobs, and we are here to make sure they are fueled with good food! Thank you, Mary Martens Food Service Director Cheverus Catholic School 781-324-6584 cafe@cheverusschool.com “This institution is an equal opportunity provider.”
