PINEHURST –– The Kellogg School District recently was awarded a Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) grant that will allow all students at Pinehurst Elementary School to receive free breakfast and lunch.
The CEP grant is through the United States Department of Agriculture, which determines eligibility from programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Temporary Assistance for Families in Idaho (TAFI), which removes the burden of collecting and reviewing individual household applications and, instead, allows schools located in low-income areas to provide free meals to all students.
The grant goes into effect immediately once the students return from their holiday break, on Monday, January 8.
