Free Breakfast & Lunch for EVERY Dragon. EVERY Day.
All Swartz Creek Community Schools students are eligible for FREE breakfast and FREE lunch, even if they bring food from home.
Students can still grab items to save for a snack later, which helps fuel learning, focus, and energy throughout the day.
Breakfast or lunch might be as simple as items like fruit, milk, veggies, cheese, or juice and students also have many additional options available. The key is choice and access.
