This pick-up site is for all students/families in the school district. All lunches ordered are available free of charge to Monroe Public School students under the age of 18 as recently made available through the National School Lunch Program.
National School Lunch Program Cost Waiver for Student Lunches
All students in grades K-8 wishing to “Purchase” lunch through the school cafeteria will be able to do so at no cost. This nationwide waiver is available to all schools that participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). The program will continue through the end of the school year.
Our food service provider, Sodexo is also offering a “Pick 3 Free” opportunity for students.
As our elementary and middle schools participate in the National School Lunch Program and lunches for our distance learners are prepared and picked-up at Fawn Hollow Elementary School, any Monroe Public School student under age 18 may order and pick-up a lunch at no charge using our online ordering system. This opportunity will exist through the end of the school year.
