Menus
Breakfast and Lunch are available for free
Ascension Catholic School has a free breakfast and lunch program available for scholars.
Scholars bringing a bag lunch may buy milk for 25 cents. Scholars buying hot lunch, get one-half pint of milk with the lunch. If they want more than one they also have to pay 25 cents. Parents must pre-pay for all scholar meals in the school office or in a sealed envelope sent to school with the scholar. The payment will be applied to the scholar’s account. Watch the family account so that your child can eat the full hot meal. Scholars with an account balance of $0 or less will be served a cold cheese sandwich with a carton of milk.
Scholars bringing lunches may not bring canned beverages, sugary sweets, or lunches that need heating.
Even though meals are now free to all scholars in Minnesota, we ask families to fill out the Application for Educational Benefits at the beginning of the school year (please see link to the right). A school’s eligibility for many different federal and state programs is based on free and reduced-price eligibility. In addition, students and families may qualify for other program fee reductions based on their eligibility for free or reduced-price meals.
