Our school offers healthy meals each day. Starting school year 2024-25, we are joining Minnesota’s Free School Meals Program. All students can get one breakfast and one lunch free of charge each day at school. Although no application is required to receive this free meal benefit, filling out the Application for Educational Benefits is still important! Your child(ren) may qualify for other benefits like reduced fees at school. Your application may also help the school qualify for education funds, discounts, and other meal programs.

To apply, complete the enclosed Application for Educational Benefits and return it to:
Cleveland Public School, Attn: Lori Buss, P.O. Box 310, Cleveland, MN 56017 

Each completed and approved Free and Reduced Lunch Form brings an average of $1,400 for academic supports, interventions and technology funding to our school! When you complete the Free and Reduced Lunch Form, you increase school funding, increase technology access, and receive discounts on activities, athletics, college applications, and academic test fees. By applying and qualifying for benefits, even if you don’t use the benefits, each qualifying application generates funds that will support our students. Please consider filling out the application above.
