The Grand County School District wants local families to know that free breakfast and lunch are available to all students, whether they have applied for the meal program or not. This expansion of the school breakfast and lunch program by the U.S. Department of Agriculture will go through 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Typically, nearly half of all Helen M. Knight Elementary students qualify for the schoolâs free or reduced breakfast and lunch program. Itâs unknown how many middle- and high-school students are eligible because they are less likely to apply for the districtâs free or reduced meals. However, GCSD Community Coordinator Amanda Knill estimated thereâs just as many middle- and high-school students who would normally qualify for the program.
