The goal of the Petal School District’s Child Nutrition Program is to provide students, teachers and staff nutritious meals at a reasonable price and to provide unparalleled service to the students and patrons.

 The National School Lunch Program is the original Child Nutrition Program.  In operation since 1946, this program makes it possible for children to be served wholesome, low cost lunches at school each day.  The meals are designed to meet one-third of the daily recommended dietary allowance and contribute to children’s mental and physical development.

 The Child Nutrition program also participates in the National School Breakfast Program.  This program was designed to meet the needs of children who arrive at school hungry.  Nutrients missed at breakfast are seldom made up at other meals.  A healthy breakfast alleviates midmorning slumps, reduces student complaints of headaches, stomach aches and trips to the school nurse.

 
Any student whose family qualifies according to the criteria as set forth by the national program may be eligible for free or reduced meals.   The Petal  School District utilizes the Family Free and Reduced Meal Applications which means only one (1) application per family regardless of which school your child attends – must be completed each year.
 
The 2012-2013 Free and Reduced Meal Applications may be picked up at each school or at the Child Nutrition Office located at 613 South Main Street, Petal (across from Petal Harvey Baptist Church). Forms should be available by July 31, 2012.
 
Free and Reduced Meal Applications may also be completed on-line.  Check the Petal School District's main web page for more information.
